HOW TO PLAY
1
The group forms a wide circle around one storyteller who steps into the middle.
2
The storyteller weaves a folk tale or proverb-laced story, pausing at dramatic moments for effect.
3
Listeners respond with traditional exclamations or repeat a call-and-response line the teller introduces.
4
Partway through, the teller may pose a riddle tied to the story and let the circle guess the answer.
5
When the tale ends, another volunteer steps into the circle to begin the next story.
