My kids have always been fascinated with mythology. They play an animal guessing game and often have a mythical creatures category! Well, when we got out hands on this cute book Miss Turie’s Magic Creatures, from Innovation Press, we were in love! Â We have read it over and over since we got it. I made a mythical creatures card game based on the animals in the book. I received this book for free from Innovation Press.Â
Miss Turie’s Magic Creatures is about a boy who wants a pet. He is peeking through the window of Miss Turie’s shop and she brings him in to show him al of her animals. The pets are all mythical and magic animals, a dragon, a Sasquatch, a golem, a griffin, a unicorn, and more! Â Each one is a bit too large, too dangerous or too terrifying for him to take as his pet. Â He eventually settles on a black cat thinking it will be a safe bet. Â But even the cat has a magical surprise at the end of the book! This book is sure a fun one for kids.
Since my kids have a love for mythical and magical creatures, I had to make something fun for my kids to go along with the book. The Mythical Creatures Game is a matching game with some extra twists thrown in. Â Each card has the picture, name and description of the mythical creature. There’s the educational slant that I always love to throw in. Â Kids can learn about the myths and stories behind each animal as they play!
There are some extra cards in the deck to make the game more fun.
- Miss Turie’s Mix Up- everyone puts down their cards &mixes them up.
- Steal- steal a card from another player
- Trade- trade hands with another player
- Wild- use this card as a match with any animal
- The Cat- this one is the “Old Maid” of the deck. There is no match!
