Beginner

Students will design a character game card to demonstrate their understanding of a character using Canva.


What you’ll learn

  • Analyze a character’s personality, strengths, and weaknesses
  • Represent a character using visual elements and symbols
  • Communicate ideas clearly through design and layout
  • Make design choices that reflect meaning and understanding
  • Use Canva tools to create and customize a game card


Their character card could be a historical figure, a character from a class text, or someone they know. This activity works well for English, history, and humanities as a character analysis task. A strong game card will clearly communicate who the character is and what makes them unique at a glance.
