Social Nonsense is a collection of fun activities you can do after you’ve ordered at a restaurant and are waiting for your food; when everyone is chilling in your living or dorm room; when you want to have kids do an interesting and creative activity in a group setting; whenever you have a little extra time with your friends and your hands are moving dangerously close to your phones.

Collaborative art, writing, or storytelling can unlock surprising truths, and show people they are more creative than they know. These games are fun … even for people who would never say they’re creative, who don’t think they can draw, write, or tell stories, and normally don’t do this sort of thing. Each activity is accompanied by instructions, examples, and commentary.

Put away your screens and enjoy creating something memorable!
