Igniting Stories Around the Fire

Campfire Stories Deck is a collection of 50 cards with storytelling prompts to help people of all ages find engaging and meaningful ways to connect with family & friends around the fire. While the glow of a campfire is the iconic setting for intimate stories, these cards can be used anywhere - on a camping trip, in the backyard, around the dining room table, or even an online hangout - to spark a story.

The cadence and authenticity of personal stories can help us reveal ourselves, allay fears, bring comfort and pass the time. For example, "Tell a story about a time when you left something behind" might lead to a tale about a teddy bear, favorite shirt, well-worn book, or grandmother’s ring.

Many of the deck’s prompts look to nature for inspiration: "Tell a story about your first visit to a national park" - or your first time in a tent, first encounter with a wild animal, or favorite beach experience. People dream of their next adventures by reminiscing about past ones and these cards help bring those memories (and rich stories) to light, whether around a candlelit dinner table or under the stars. Additional cards explain fun ways to use the deck and offer storytelling tips.
