Star an Among Us Character in a Scene

What can I use if I don’t have a black marker, glue, or scissors listed in the materials?

Use a sharpened pencil or thin black crayon to trace the outline instead of a black marker, replace glue with a glue stick or double-sided tape to attach a cutout, and use blunt child-safe scissors or tear thicker paper along the outline if scissors are missing, then photograph the finished scene with a phone to share instead of uploading to DIY.org.

What should I do if my paper cutout rips, the marker smudges, or the cutout won’t stick to the background?

If the cutout rips, reinforce the back with a scrap of paper and re-cut along the outline; if marker smudges, wait for it to dry or use a permanent pen to retrace; and if it won't stick, try double-sided tape or a small dab of glue stick and press firmly until set.

How can I make this activity easier for younger kids or more challenging for older kids?

For preschoolers pre-draw the bean-shaped body on sturdy cardstock and provide jumbo crayons and a glue stick to skip fiddly cutting, while older kids can add detailed role-specific tools, shading with colored pencils, and build a diorama using a shoebox and an X-Acto knife (with adult help).

What are simple ways to extend or personalize the finished Among Us scene?

Personalize and extend the project by turning the scene into a three-panel comic that shows the three background clues as a short story, adding speech bubbles with a black marker and coloring each panel differently with colored pencils or markers.
