What you need
Choose a gnome trail. You can bring three blank cards and a pencil. The time shown is for the game along the way.
Step by step
- Agree on three gnomes to stop at. At the first, name your main character and decide what they have lost.
- At the second, find something in the landscape that might be a clue. What would the gnome discover?
- Let another child invent the ending at the third stop. Draw a memory of each stop and use the pictures to retell the story.
