Create a Lightning Thief Playing Card

• On a piece of paper or cardboard, make a trading card for a character from The Lightning Thief. This could be a god, half-blood or monster. You can place your character's name at the top, draw a picture of your character in the middle and then create a bio on the bottom of the page. You may have to use your imagination if you are doing a picture of Percy, Annabeth, or the other campers.

• Character Bio:

  • • Decide what information you will put on your card. Besides the character’s name, you should have a brief description and any special powers that character has. You might even want to assign an attack value and defense value to your card so you can play games with your friends!
