Fortunately / Unfortunately and Writing Skills
In order to become a skilled writer, your child must first learn to tell a story. Storytelling isn’t an easy skill to learn: it requires learning the different parts of a story, how to move a plot along, and also how to use your voice to make that story exciting and engaging to the audience. The Fortunately-Unfortunately game is a fun storytelling game that practices adding details to the plot of a simple story. Adding details to both their characters and their stories is something many kids need to work on. In this game, though, the most important thing is quick thinking, not creating a logical story, which can make for some pretty ridiculous tales!
