Story Starters
Story Starter conversation cards
Everyone has a story. Some are shared. Some are secrets. They help us connect, remember, dream. They can make us cry heartfelt tears or laugh so hard it hurts. Most of all, they help us understand what it is to be human.
Leaf Story Starter conversation cards aim to help you share your stories, now and into the future. Use these Story Starter cards to break the ice with strangers, get to know your acquaintances better or deepen your relationships with friends and family. You can even use them to help you write a journal.
Team a Story Starter card with a theme card from our range of themed sets for endless combinations of story telling fun.
How to use your Leaf Story Starters
- Select one card from each of the Story Starter (they’re the ones with the quote marks) and the theme packs (with the illustrations). Each guest can play with their own pair of cards, or you can each tell your stories using the same pair – it’s up to you.
- Use the Story Starter card to kick-start your story. Use the theme card as the subject matter. How creatively you interpret the theme is up to you.
- Take turns to tell your stories. Vote on them if you wish.
- If you don’t have a real story, make one up!
