Description

Write a story, illustrate it, and turn it into an animation.


Resources

Paper & pens.
Imagination
Video editing software

Instructions

Split the group into smaller groups and get each to come up with a story with a beginning, middle & end and write a script.

Then should draw pictures of each individual thing mentioned in their story.

Then, using a voice recording app on your phone/computer, get them to narrate the story while recording it,

For beavers/cubs - take the illustrations home and do this yourself:

Scan the illustrations into your computer and use image editing software to turn the background transparent.

Import them into video editing software, along with the narration sound file, and animate them.

It helps to show them an example video beforehand so they can understand what to draw/narrate - and helps you to steer them towards drawing the right stuff,

I found getting them to draw individual bits of scenes helped as I could then animate (aka move around - nothing fancy) each bit,
