Office Break Games

Conversation games

One-word story

The group tells a story one word each, in turn. Nobody controls where it goes, and that is the fun.

What you need

Nothing at all. Just the people.

How to play

  1. Stand in a circle and pick a title ("The day the coffee machine broke").
  2. Go around the circle; each person adds exactly one word.
  3. Keep the pace up; no long pauses.
  4. Whoever says "The end" with a straight face finishes it.

Office tip: Record it on a phone. Playing it back is funnier than telling it.
