===Objectives===<br />
Fun; get to know each other; appreciate diversity; build institutional memory (if the stories are about the organization); identify successes to build upon/mistakes to not repeat; celebrate one team member . . . <br />
<br />
===Group Size===<br />

===Materials===<br />
none<br />
<br />
===Set Up===<br />
<br />
===Directions===<br />
Ask one person to tell a brief, true story or anecdote from each period of their involvement with the team.<br />
E.g., Someone who has been on the team for five years could tell five stories, something that happened relevant to the team during each year that person was a member. <br />
<br />
===Debrief===<br />
Is there anything to be learned from the stories shared? <br />
Are there different versions of the same incident that someone else could tell?<br />
How could the stories have gone differently with the wisdom of hindsight? Does this have value for the team's future?<br />
<br />
===Alternatives===<br />
This activity could feature one person per gathering/meeting, or everyone on the team could take a turn (maybe with all focused on one year or one team event).<br />
This can also be a good way to celebrate one person only - e.g. on an anniversary of their joining the team, or on their birthday.<br />
You could ask for personal-life stories rather than team-related.<br />
The request could be for one story from every five-year or ten-years, or whatever time period is appropriate.<br />
Others could tell stories ''about'' the person, rather than the person telling their own. <br />
