Make Your Own Flip Book

Think of a flip book as more than just a fun animation. It’s a tool for storytelling and self-expression. Each drawing changes slightly from the last, and when flipped in sequence, the images move. That movement becomes the story. Flip books not only teach the basics of animation and storytelling but also help students practice sequencing, focus, and creative expression. They invite students to slow down, notice details, and think step by step about how ideas develop over time.

Steps to Create this Activity

Login to see steps

1. Introduce the Concept (Story + Movement)

Share the example flip book: “I Feel Happy When I See a Dog”. Discuss how story and movement work together to express identity.

2. Explore Prompt Ideas (Identity Brainstorm)

Present a prompt chart to guide thinking: “I feel... / I believe... / I belong...”. Invite students to select a prompt or develop their own starting point for a story.

3. Plan the Flip Book (Storyboard)

Sketch ideas in a storyboard format. Remind students to keep characters or objects in roughly the same position so the motion flows.

4. Draw and Assemble the Flip Book

Create one drawing per card or small piece of paper. Use YUDU 3-in-1 Colour Pencils and Brush Pens to add detail and emphasis. Staple or clip the drawings in order.

5. Share and Reflect

Arrange a gallery walk or pair-sharing session for students to present their work. Ask for a short written reflection.
