 HALLOWEEN SHADOW PUPPETS 🎃🦇👻🧛♀️CREATE aHalloween Shadow Puppet play. Video your play. Use sound effects,onomatopoeia, (these can be audio effects in your editing program, orsound effects, you make yourself) music and video clip filters, tocreate your video.
Things you will need:-
- Torch, lamp light source.
- Shadow puppets pdf(or you may
like to make your own)

Shadow puppet theatre
This time we will use a light source(single LED torch), a white wall or light colour wall, and project the images onto the wall.
Or you can use the puppet theatre you made last time.
1. WATCH the Video A Really Really Scary Story
2. READ A Really Really Scary Story, you can write your own really scary storyif you would like. Use the template and WhatYouFindinaScaryStory.pdf
3. CUT OUT the characters and sticky tape them to straws, (or something similar)from the template. Or draw your own characters and cut them out.
4. SETUP your theatre. Follow the directions in the video. Or use the puppet theatre from last time.
5. SET up your camera position, so you see the shadows but not the shadow puppets.
6. PRACTICE your show. Write your dialogue, or you may wish to read the script andperform the actions. Practice with your puppets on the wall.
7. GATHER an audience and …..ACTION! Make sure that it’s comfortable and fun.TURN off all of the lights turn on the spotlight/torch, and be preparedfor lots of laughs along the way. The hearty applause that follows willshow that you’ve done a super job with your shadow puppet show.
8. FILM your story. Make sure you use landscape, make sure you use a loud clear voice.
9. UPLOAD your video to your google classroom. Just drag and drop from your desktop.
HOT HINTS
Don’t strike the set till you have checked the rushes.
Hold your shadow puppets flat against the screen, they are 2D( 2 dimensional).
QC (quality control) your video to make sure your effects are not too loud, and your voice can be heard.

I am still working on the upgrade on the the Virtual Teacher Website but have finished the Mind Candy. Check out "Here's to the Crazy ones" I still love it. I think there is a bit of Crazy in all of us. And to have fun with teaching you need to think differently.
