Simple Animations

The grade 6's and 7's have been learning how to make some simple animations.  The theme for this exercise is a soccer goal scored or saved and we are using MS Paint to make a series of stick figures in action.  We are then using MonkeyJam as the animator which is quick and easy to use.  The aim of learning to use the animator programme, is to be able to animate science experiments later in the year which is a good way to learn, understand and retain the information.  These sort of animations can be used for any suitable subject and are lots of fun to produce.

Here is the link to MonkeyJam for downloading the programme which is 1.33MB.
