out everything you can think of on a certain topic.

Idea Cards
Take a deck of index cards and write a single idea on
each one. Then mix them up in a bowl. Now take out
the cards and pair them. For example, ???nectar??? might
appear with ???giants.??? Perhaps, your next game will

First, brainstorm about the character: What does

look like? What could each bu on do? Remember,

Have fun with this! Come up with as many ideas as
you can.
