Kids DM Guide: 56-Page Resource for Parents, Teachers & First-Time DMs (Ages 5-8)

What’s Inside:

This guide takes you from zero experience to confidently running role-playing games for kids. Whether you’re using our adventures like The Enchanted Forest or designing your own mini-quests, this resource gives you everything you need.

Inside you’ll find:

• Clear, easy-to-follow explanations of what a Dungeon Master does, how to read adventure modules, and how to adapt challenges for younger players.

• Practical advice on handling common situations (kids getting distracted, sharing spotlight, pacing, when things go off the rails).

• Printable tools: encounter trackers, character sheets, flowcharts, cheat sheets, tokens you can cut out and use.

• Sample scripts, prompts, and role-playing tips to help you bring NPCs, monsters, and scenes to life — even if you’ve never done this before.

• Tips for classroom or group play: behavior management, learning outcomes, how to keep everyone engaged.
