SMARTS All About Dungeons & Dragons, Grades 4-8 • SMARTS, Students Motivated by the Arts

SMARTS All About Dungeons & Dragons, Grades 4-8

(Dominic Adams & Rea Gaugler- Beuter B)
Bring your friends and step into a world of dragons, magic, and limitless imagination in this exciting and interactive workshop all about Dungeons & Dragons (D&D)—a storytelling game where you become the hero of your own adventure.

In this hands-on D&D experience, you'll design your very own fantasy character, whether it's a brave ranger, a clever wizard, or a sneaky rogue. Then, with your team of fellow adventurers, you'll journey through thrilling imaginary worlds, solve challenging puzzles, battle fearsome monsters, and make choices that shape a story that’s unique every time you play.

Take all you create into the art session to sculpt a mini-figurine of your character, build a map, or draw a scene from the story you construct.

Guiding each session are SMARTS Teachers who will serve as the Artist and Dungeon Master—the game’s storyteller and leader—who help the group navigate every twist and turn of the adventure. No previous experience is needed, just creativity, curiosity, and a love of stories.

Roll the dice and let the adventure unfold! Students must bring their own labeled lunch and drink.
