How It Works

    green cards are characters, yellow cards are objects,
    and blue cards are places.

  • Draw a card from each

    of the three categories. (For more of a challenge, draw an extra card from the object stack.)

  • Take a look at what you have

    there’s a story in there! Combine all your elements and come up with a tale.

Tell your story out loud, act it out with friends, or draw pictures of
your story. Don’t forget to use the blank card to make your own idea. Anything’s possible in the Curious Kingdom!
