Have you been wanting to try STOP MOTION ANIMATION but don't have all of the materials? This digital animation project is for YOU! Your students will love creating their own winter story & watch them move! Students can even create a GIF.

With this animation project, students will learn how to create their own stop motion animations using Google Slides.

They'll also learn how to create backgrounds and add effects to their animations.

This project is perfect for students of all ages and skill levels. It's low-prep and can be completed in multiple class periods. And the best part is, students will have a blast watching their creations come to life this Winter!

Your students will create a Winter themed animation (snowman, snow, animals, slides inside)

What is stop motion animation?

• Stop motion animation is a film technique where objects are filmed frame by frame, photo by photo.
• In this project, students will not be using a camera to take photos, but Google Slides to create an animation effect.

How to use this digital stop motion animation activity?

• This is perfect for tech/computer class!
• This activity can be introduced as a whole group or the instructions slides given individually.
• Students can work at their own pace & create their own ideas.
• The instructions will guide students through each step. Either display it in front of the whole class or provide students with the link to the presentation so they can follow it on their own. Each slide contains screenshots, arrows, and text directions.
