Resources

You will need
• Rulers
• Scissors
• Glue sticks
• Sticky tack
• Coloured pens or pencils
• Big pieces of paper
Printout of 'All things Scottish' - 1 for each group of 3

Instructions

- Divide the group into teams of around three. Give each team at least one copy of the 'All things Scottish' sheet.
3. Explain to everyone that they will be making comics from the images on the sheet. Each comic should contain at least three of the Scottish things from the sheet. Give the teams time to come up with a story that involves the three images they have chosen.
4. Give each team a sheet of A3 paper, a ruler, coloured pencils, scissors and glue. They will also need a dark pencil.
5. Use the pencil and ruler to divide the A3 sheet into six equal squares. Each square will act as a panel of the story, beginning at the top left and ending in the bottom right square.
6. The teams can use scissors and glue to cut out and stick any images they want to use from the sheet or draw their own versions. Give the teams around half an hour to complete their comics, with a warning when there’s five minutes left.
7. Come back together as a group. Each team presents their comics to the rest of the group, with each member of the team taking turns to tell the story. After each story has been told, the person leading the activity should stick each comic up on the wall with sticky-tack.
