Participants should be prepared to work together with one another to create fun and imaginative stories.
All participants should have the following items:
Blank pieces of paper
Markers and/or crayons
Pencils with eraser
A selection of fun costume pieces – Think “fun, bright, unusual and creative”
Hats, Wigs, Scarves, Ties, Etc….
Participants will also be given a short amount of time to find some things around the house to creatively add to their characters and stories. Having a blank background of the zoom participant is preferred. If there is a place in the home where the participant can set up their computer so that a blank wall is behind them would be great.
