Instructions & Inspiration

Elementum Cards are all about getting back to human connection. Modern life brings many ways to distract us from each other, and even when we make time to be together it's hard to think of fun things to do.

Elementum Cards take the work out of having fun and help you create moments that matter. 

Our Family Edition has 70 question or activity prompts inspired by games we've played as a family for over forty years. Each card has something different - an interesting question to reflect on, a conversation starter or an idea for a fun or creative activity.   

 

➡️ How to play

Here are some ways that families use Elementum Cards, but the beauty of these cards is you can adapt them to your family's preferences!

• Get the family together and take turns to choose a card. The person who chooses the card decides the rules for the activity.
• Choose a regular time and get the cards out. Family games night sorted!
• Friends coming over? Pick one card for everyone to take turns answering.  
• Choose an activity card and plan a time to play again in the future. 

Players can skip a card, super-size an activity or adapt the instructions. e.g. If it says to draw you could act, sing or tell a story instead.  

 

🌏 Where to play

You can play Elementum at the dining table, in the car, at a picnic table near the beach, on the ferry, at school, in your camping tent … pretty much anywhere. If the card you've chosen doesn't suit your surroundings, move on to the next one.

 

Our only other tip is to take photos of your activities. Capture family moments of fun, laughter and togetherness.
