Exquisite Corpse Adventure
It's not as gruesome as it sounds! An Exquisite Corpse is an old game in which people write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold it over to conceal part of it and pass it on to the next player to do the same. The game ends when someone finishes the story, which is then read aloud. Jon Scieszka, the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, has written the first episode and has passed it on to a cast of celebrated writers and illustrators, who must eventually bring the story to an end!
