HOW TO PLAY
1

Position a light source so it casts shadows onto a flat surface like a tent wall.

2

Players take turns using their hands and simple props to create shadow shapes that act out a short story.

3

The rest of the group tries to guess what's happening in the story as it unfolds.

4

Rotate storytellers every few minutes so everyone gets a turn.

5

Combine everyone's shadow scenes into one continuous silly story by the end.
