Make a "Guess Who" Video

What can we use instead of special craft supplies if we don't have fancy cards or props?

Use cut pieces of cardboard or folded sticky notes for the clue cards and household items like hats, kitchen utensils, or stuffed animals from your pile of props as easy substitutes for expensive costumes or props.

My video looks dark or shaky—how do we fix that when filming?

If footage is dark or shaky, follow the step to 'set up your filming space so the background is tidy and the light is bright' by filming facing a window or adding a lamp and stabilize your phone on stacked books or a tripod, then re-record or trim clips using your phone video tools.

How can I adapt this activity for younger kids or teens?

For younger children, simplify the 'pick four fun characters' step by using picture-only clue cards and very short spoken clues while they hold the props, and for older kids or teens, increase the challenge by choosing more characters, writing trickier clues, and doing more advanced edits when you 'trim and arrange your clips'.

How can we make the Guess Who video more creative or personal?

Make the video more personal by decorating each clue card with the character's colors, adding simple costumes or sound effects for each prop during the 'film one short clip' step, including a quick scoreboard or audience voting after each clip, and then 'share your finished Guess Who video on DIY.org' for friends to watch.
