Rory's Story Cubes are a good tool to get people telling stories.  There are several different ways to use the dice.  One is to roll the dice and make up a story.  Another is to tell a personal story, inspired or remembered from one of the dice.  Making up stories opens children and adults to sharing their own stories.  They are also small enough to carry in a pocket or backpack on youth or family trips.
