Six-panel storyboard
Scan for the app
Film makers plan stories with little pictures first. Tell a story in 6 panels.
- Panels 1–2: who is the hero, and what goes wrong?
- Panels 3–5: what do they try? Does it get worse?
- Panel 6: how does it end? Draw speech bubbles where you need them.
Grown-up corner
Why it matters: Storyboards teach kids to tell a story clearly, one step at a time, with pictures and few words.
- Which panel is the most exciting?
- Could someone understand the story with no words at all?
Extend it: Act the storyboard out. Optional: film it on a phone together.
My brain felt: ☐ easy ☐ just right ☐ stretchy
