Kids get to make & take a kid-friendly monster puppet with a moving mouth--kind of like a sock puppet, but better. Don't forget to bring your helpful grown up!
Description:
Sesame Street puppeteer, Stacey Gordon, will lead children in making a simple fabric moving-mouth puppet that they can bring to life and take home with them. Each child should be able to sit for 45 minutes, use a ruler and scissors correctly, as well as be able to follow simple, one-step directions. Each participant under the age of 8 will need to be accompanied by one dedicated, helpful grown-up.
Come join the Motley Kids for a roleplaying game with a superhero theme! No reading is required for an adventure just your size! We'll select the game system based on age & ability of attendees.

If you master the basics, the Marshal may teach you to chain-cast, for increased power. Be a student from one of the North American magical universe’s five provincial high schools: Providence Preparatory Academy for the Advancement of the Arcane Arts (P2A4), Flower Mountain Escuela de Magica, Great Plains School of Magical Arts, Magnolia Sun School of Sorcery, or Lewis & Clark Institute of Magic. There is good reason to practice defending against dark magic, as the Gorecasters may be on the rise again, with infamous dark artificer Jack Slager calling the shots even while imprisoned in Avernus.

Kids join their parents to create and play a board game that promotes movement & a bit of competition! You and your young ones come up with physical movements to add to each side of a giant die & become game pieces in this life sized board game. We want to promote children moving and being physically active with their parents. You get to take the giant die you create along with a small version of the board game to be able to play at home without creating the huge board we will be using at GenCon. Adults must accompany their children.
