Description, Sample Pages & Details

How these cards work:

  • On each card, we describe a personality trait or quirk about a character (i.e., a dog is super lazy) and you come up with ideas for what the character can do that shows off this trait to the audience.
  • You can come up with something quite simple – something that would amount to a line or two in a book or a few seconds on a movie screen. Or you can think up a more elaborate scene. It’s up to you and your imagination.
  • Included are 88 cards, for which creative thinking, lateral thinking and creative problem-solving skills will be put to the test!

Age range: Like most of our items, the content here is open-ended and so is accessible to a vast range of ages. We estimate the minimum age to be 8 or 9.
