Creating stories (Tribes)

Ask the group to brainstorm what they understand by a tribe and write them on a big peice of paper.
In groups of 4 or 5 ask the group to create their own tribe asking the following questions.

1. What is your name?
2. What is your symbol? (draw and colour in if necessary)
3. What is your main value in life? (put in the form of a motto)
4. What types of clothers do you wear?
5. Where do you live?
6. What is your initiation ceremony to get into the tribe?

If the group want to add other details then they can. Feed back to one another about your tribes.

Story tasks:
Get each group to create a story about how their tribe came into existance. Get the group to present it back by acting it out.
Join two groups together to make a story which involves both of their tribes. Get them to feed back by retelling it and acting it out.
