If you have access to the internet, check out the Gatherer pages (the Magic card database where you can browse through cards from Magic’s entire history) for some inspiration. Draw a box underneath the title that fills about half the space on the card. It’s OK if you want to add the actual name later, as long as you mark out a space for the title now.
Think of a name for your creature and add it to a title box at the top of the card. An adult could make the cards in advance by cutting an A4 piece of card into four or eight pieces (depending on how big you’d like the cards to be). Magic maps scout full#
Check out the example below as a guide you can find full details on the official Magic webpages. It’s time to learn bit about the different parts of a card and create your own version. Magic cards are made so the info you need to know is always in the same place. They could add card outlines or mark a space to play creatures they cast, as well as including space for the lands they collect during the game.
If anyone wants to make a larger mat, they could use a full piece of A4 paper and add space to act as the battlefield in the middle where they’ll play their cards. 
Everyone should decorate any empty space – they could draw some creatures or a scene from a landscape to represent their mana colour. Check out the glossary at the bottom of the page for more info. The stages of play are: begin, main phase, combat, main phase and end. Everyone should think of different symbols or drawings to represent the stages, and write the words too so they don’t forget. This will help remind new players what to do during the game. Add the different stages of a turn of play along the top of the sheet. Get creative, this could be along a path or the trunk of a tree. On the left side of the paper, write out the numbers 1 to 20 to track your life total. One is the ‘library’ and one is the ‘graveyard’. Start with the strip of paper landscape and mark a space on the right hand side for two piles of cards. You only need one strip each, so you could share a piece of A4 paper with a friend. Take a sheet of A4 paper and cut it in half lengthways so you end up with two thinner strips of paper. At the end of the session, everyone should get back into their coloured groups and share some of their creations. You could choose one of the crafts below for everyone to complete together, or set them all up as bases for everyone to try out during the session. They should decorate them based on the colours of mana they’ve been chatting about. The person leading the game should explain everyone will craft some things to help them play Magic. 
The person leading the game should explain that a big part of Magic is building a deck and choosing cards that use mana of a colour that suits your personality and play style. The teams should chat about why they chose that colour and take it in turns to share some thoughts with the wider group. Which team managed to find something they all shared in common first?. It doesn’t matter if some groups have fewer than eight people or a couple of extra people. Groups should keep joining up until you have five groups – one for each colour. If there are more than five groups (one for each colour), the groups of four should join together. After a minute, each pair should find another pair who chose the same colour and chat again as a group of four. The pairs should chat and try to find one thing they both share in common. Everyone should get into a pair with another person who chose the same mana colour. If you have a welcome deck, you could give groups some of the cards to look at while everyone’s talking. Does one colour best suit their personality, or how they might approach solving a problem? Did anyone choose the same colours? In their groups, everyone should think about which colour they’d choose. Everyone should split into smaller groups. They should explain more about the different colours of mana using the information in the Magic glossary at the bottom of the page. The person leading the activity should use some of the information above about Magic: The Gathering to introduce the game.
