  • What does your alien eat?

  • Is your alien scared of anything?

Further Activities

  • Write a story about your alien character.

  • Draw a picture of the world that your alien lives in.

  • Make a theatre show poster for a show that your alien is in – look at some theatre and movie posters online for inspiration.

  • Animate your character (see below)

Animate Your Character

Using the phone/iPad app FlipaClip animate your character.

Watch FlipaClips how to video to get started, draw your character and then follow our simple animation (steps below) or find your own technique!

1. Once you are happy with your character, copy the slide with the copy icon (circled above)
2. Paste this slide to the right with the right paste icon (circled above)
3. Use the lasso tool (highlighted in pink) to select part of your image that you want to move. Move it slightly. Tip – the top pink dot turns your selection. Repeat steps 1–3.
4. To add some extra whole body movement lasso your whole character and move a teeny tiny bit – repeat in each slide.

5. Press play!
