Story Telling
There are lots of possible variations on story telling. First person begins with a story, and each person, in turn, adds to the story, until the story is completed and all players are through with their chance. Players must wait for their turn to come and add to the story when their turn comes. More the people are creative will enjoy more. People can add with hilarious comments. It is appreciated more when more people are collect in the party.

Freestyle Story telling: To be played with two or more people. One person begins with a story and tells as much of a story as he wants to. Each person can decide whatever amount of story telling they want to get into. When first one has told what he wants to tell, there comes the next person's turn.

Sentence Story telling: To be played with three or more people. Each person is allowed to frame and present only one sentence during his turn. The sentence may be as long or short as he pleases, but it must flow as one sentence. Statements separated by semicolon are not entertained. For instance, person is allowed to say: ''Gracy is pretty, wanting to attend a friend's birthday party, heavily dressed, went to the beauty-parlor.'' But cannot say: ''Gracy is pretty; she went to the beauty-parlor.''

One-Word Story telling: To be played with two or more people. Each person contributes only one word at a time without exceptions. Each person has to be alert because the word must make sense in the context of words spoke by previous players. For instance, ''Johnson'' ''is'' ''stout''. ''He'' ''is'' ''good'' ''at'' ''sports''. Here each word in quotation has to be spoken by different person. Often, a player may choose whether to continue with previous sentence or begin a new one. For instance, ''People'' ''eat'' ''banana''… the next person may break the chain and start with a new sentence, ''People'' ''also'' ''eat'' ''apple'', or may continue with the first sentence, ''every'' ''morning''.

Benefits: Develop thinking ability by coming up with creative ideas and appropriate use of words at appropriate time. Learn cohesiveness and team spirit supporting team members and presenting finally as a joint effort.

My experience with Hound was a very positive one although I was recently hired through another posting online. The employer called me because they saw my resume online. The emails I received were very informative, emotionally uplifting and helpful during my job search.
