Moving Images (With Index Cards & Pencil Device)
I personally feel that these short activities would be very exciting ways to start off a moving image lesson to help the students understand how it works and how easy it is to make interesting images that can move. I would use this method of animation with students who were probably a little younger (2nd to 5th grade) and I feel that the index card with rubber bands idea was probably my favorite (though one side of mine was backwards) because it was quick, easy, required no cutting, and created two separate images that when spun, created one image with both of the drawings together.
