StoryLines

Parents need to know that StoryLines is a creative app designed for multiple players, through pass-and-play or Facebook. The first player is encouraged to write a well-known saying (he or she can submit any sentence) and then pass it on to the next player. The second player draws a picture to go with the original sentence and then passes it along to a third player. The third player is asked to write a caption for what the second player has drawn. This goes on for anywhere from three to nine rounds. At the end, the entire StoryLine is revealed, and it's fun to see how the original saying was interpreted and re-interpreted with each round. Since this is a free-write and free-draw app, it is possible that players will write/draw inappropriate things. Players can also use this as a group storytelling experience for more creative play.
