How To Use The Cards For Storytelling

The object is simple: each player will pick a card that will serve as an inspiration to create characters, add events, or expand on an existing character or concept that will take the story even further.

Family Camping Trip

If you are planning a family camping trip, this bundle is perfect to keep kids entertained.

Before the trip, print out a set or two (you can always mix and match!) and bring them along.

During downtime or around the campfire, have each family member choose a card and take turns adding to the story.

Not only does it provide endless entertainment, but it also sparks creativity and imagination.

Vacation Bible School

If you are a VBS teacher, story cards can be a fun way to teach kids about different Bible stories. Grab a set of story cards that can be used to relate to the stories you will be teaching, and have kids use the images to create or re-tell those from the bible. By enacting Bible stories, children gain a more thorough understanding of them and allow their imaginations to soar.
