When my children were around four-or-so, they had a story-telling board game. As a player moved around the board, you had to pick plastic creatures out of a bag (or give them back, or trade them, depending on the type of space you landed on). The creatures included all sorts of farm and jungle animals, as well as sea creatures, snakes and insects.
When you had three or more creatures, and landed on a Setting space (a picture of a farm, a school, a house, or someplace else I can't recall at the moment), you had to tell a story using that Setting and all of the creatures you had accumulated. The winner was the first person to tell original stories in all four Settings.
My children used to play that game all the time. I was amazed that their stories were rarely repetitive, and at how creative they would be to figure a way to work a whale, a zebra and a spider into a school Setting.
