Something that we use to do at our home around the table is make up a story on the fly. Each person would contribute one line of the story in succession. On a good night the story could go on for a long time and was often very funny and clever.
The rule here is once the story starts there are no comments, just add your line to the story. Keep it from drawing to a conclusion so the next person can add to it.
The first line of the story is:
"It was a dark and stormy night..."

So they headed back up the path from the lake when a pooka stop them, saying....
