HOW TO PLAY
1
Everyone gathers in a circle, and the eldest or a chosen storyteller opens with a traditional greeting call.
2
The group responds together with an agreed reply, signaling that the story may begin.
3
The storyteller tells an opening line, then pauses at set points for the group to repeat a refrain or answer a short question.
4
The storyteller continues weaving the tale, occasionally inviting a listener to guess what happens next before revealing it.
5
At the end of the story, the group can vote on their favorite moment or ask the storyteller questions about it.
6
A new storyteller can take over the circle for another round if the group wants to continue.
