How to Play Once Upon a Time Model

Players stand in a circle and build a story following this model:

  1. Once upon a time... (introduce character and setting)
  2. Every day... (establish routine)
  3. Until one day... (introduce problem)
  4. And because of that... (consequence)
  5. Until finally... (resolution)

This five-step structure teaches basic dramatic arc.
