This Halloween stop motion animation activity is the perfect blend of technology skills practice and creativity! Build an eye-catching short video clip using Google Slides™ and the elements provided in the download.

Working independently or in pairs, students will create an animation of their choosing, using the background images and components provided (or they can insert or craft their own). Students will then view their animation to see their work in action.

Watch the video preview above to see a sample animation.

Please note: You can use the elements for students to instead create a Halloween still image / scene. This option may suit your students better if they struggle with technology or you are short on time. You can have your students write a short story about what is happening in the scene.
