The story cards are made of icons, colours, textures, edges and shadows.
Each card can act as an entertainment or help with kicking around ideas. They can also be put to a wide variety of uses in teaching and learning.
Young people are likely to enjoy the themes of exploration, mystery and adventure underlying the sets of images and icons. Parents and carers are asked to review the cards before showing them to kids.
There are many ways to explore the cards:
· Pick a page and use the icons in any order to build a story.
· Pick a page and follow the icons in a set order to build a story.
· Choose a symbol from each page as you go through a series of cards to form a story.
· Imagine a plot with a beginning, a middle and an end.
· Consider the icons on a page and think of a dramatic title for the page.
· Add colours and textures from the pages to your stories.
· Count how many times the same image, as icon or picture, appears across a series of cards.
· Grab some dice and make a story by rolling the dice and advancing from icon to icon through a series of cards. The more dice you use the shorter the story/ path through the book.
· Alphabetise the icons on a page and make words with the first letter for each icon.
There are many types of stories or plots that can be made from a card or a series of cards:
· Make a story with a theme or genre you enjoy - such as mystery or adventure.
· Outline a character’s personality, skills and/ or deeds.
· Outline someone’s day from dusk till dawn.
· Describe the stage and performances at an event or a performance such as a carnival.
· Plan a movie or genre movie including actors, sets and story.
· Map out a community such as a village or a castle.
· Invent a planet or a massive spaceship by using a page or a series of pages to suggest landscapes and cultures.
