Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Green Screen

In honor of St. Patrick's day, I would like to share a green screen idea that was originally created for a kindergarten class, but the concept could be used at any grade level with any wild topic imaginable! First, I will walk you through the directions and then I will share some examples from various classes.

If I Caught a Leprechaun... Green Screen Idea in 5 steps:

For any of you trying green screen with your students, here's a St. Patrick's Day idea to try.
  1. Find a background image and a leprechaun image with a transparent background OR grab images from this St. Patrick's Day Google Photo album
  2. Prepare the images in Do Ink Green Screen app as follows:
  3. Setup your your green screen and position the location of your iPad accordingly:
  4. When student is in the picture, move the leprechaun before taking the picture:
  5. Air drop the image to a student iPad so they can record their voice in Seesaw

Once the image is in Seesaw, students can record themselves completing the sentence "If I caught a leprechaun..."

A special thanks to Alicia Walpole at Guadalupe for collaborating with me on this idea! We were able to get through her whole class in less than an hour.
