Lip-Sync to Your Favorite Song

What can we use instead of a mirror or a tripod if those are hard to find?

Use a phone's front-facing camera as a mirror to practice matching your lip movements for the first verse and prop the same phone or a tablet on books to record the full run-through in the adult-supervised safe recording space.

I'm having trouble matching my lips to the song during practice—what should I try?

Slow the music playback and practice the first verse line-by-line while reading the lyrics and focusing on the words you underlined or circled so your mouth matches the emphasized words before running the whole song.

How can we adapt this activity for different ages?

For younger children, pick a short chorus, use only one facial expression and one simple prop with an adult helping to set up the recording space and hold the lyrics, while older kids can add extra moves, multiple expressions, and edit multiple takes before sharing.

How can we make our lip-sync performance more creative or polished before sharing on DIY.org?

Add a simple costume or themed prop, rehearse using your chosen moves during the chorus, watch your recording to pick one small improvement, then re-record that improved take and combine favorite clips if you want before uploading.
