Craft Your Cookie Kingdom Ceremonial Staff!

Let's dive into the world of Cookie Run Kingdom and create a magical Ceremonial Staff fit for a Cookie hero!

Phase 1: What are Ceremonial Staffs? (History & English)

In many stories, games (like Cookie Run Kingdom!), and even real history, leaders, wizards, or important figures carry special staffs. Why? Let's explore!

• Discussion: Why do characters like Latte Cookie or Pomegranate Cookie have staffs? What do staffs often represent (power, magic, wisdom, authority)?
• Explore: Let's look at pictures of real historical staffs or scepters (like those used by kings/queens) or famous fictional staffs (like Gandalf's). What symbols or shapes do you see? What makes them look important or magical?
• Vocabulary: Let's learn words like 'symbol,' 'ceremonial,' 'authority,' 'design,' 'symmetrical.'

Phase 2: Design Your Staff! (Art & Math)

Now it's your turn to be the designer! Grab your paper and pencil.

• Brainstorm: What Cookie Run Kingdom character or theme inspires your staff? Pure Vanilla's healing? Espresso's magic? A brave knight's staff?
• Sketch: Draw your staff design. Think about:
  • The Top: What cool symbol or object will be at the very top? A cookie shape? A magical gem? A swirl?
  • The Shaft: How long will it be? Will it be smooth or have patterns? (Let's measure how long you want it!)
  • Shapes: What shapes will you use? Circles, stars, diamonds, swirls? Is your design symmetrical (the same on both sides)?
  • Colors: What colors fit your theme?
• Measure: Let's estimate how tall your staff will be. We can use a ruler or measuring tape to plan how long to make the main part.

Phase 3: Write Your Staff's Story (English)

Every magical item needs a story!

• Describe: Write a short paragraph (3-5 sentences) describing your staff. What is its name? What does it look like (use describing words!)? What special power does it have in the Cookie Run Kingdom? Who would carry it?

Phase 4: Build Your Staff! (Art & Math)

Time to bring your design to life!

• Gather Materials: Collect your cardboard tube, paper, foil, gems, tape, glue, paint, etc.
• Construct:
  • Use your sketch as a guide.
  • Measure and cut the cardboard tube if needed (adult help recommended for cutting).
  • Shape paper, cardboard, or foil to create the topper and other details.
  • Assemble the parts using glue or tape. Remember symmetry if you planned for it!
  • Paint and decorate your staff. Add gems, glitter, ribbons, or yarn.
• Problem-Solving: If something isn't working, how can we fix it? Sometimes the best designs come from happy accidents!

Phase 5: Present Your Creation! (English & Art)

Show off your amazing work!

• Share: Present your finished ceremonial staff.
• Read: Read the descriptive paragraph you wrote about your staff.
• Reflect: What was your favorite part of making the staff? What was the trickiest part? How did measuring help?
