Help!?
What can we use instead of poster board, glue, or a camera if we don't have them?
Use folded printer paper or cereal-box cardboard as a poster base, tape or stapler instead of glue, crayons or markers for the big bright title and drawings, and a smartphone or tablet to record the 30–90 second video option.
My voice sounds quiet and my video is shaky—how do we fix it during the activity?
Follow the step to make a simple storyboard to plan steady shots, prop the phone on a stable surface for recording, re-record short clips for clear speech, and use the edit-your-clips / add-a-short-voiceover step to tidy up sound and images.
How can this activity be changed for younger kids or older kids?
For younger children simplify by drawing characters and having a parent write the one-sentence plot and reason before they color the poster, while older kids can expand to a 2–3 sentence plot summary, create a 30–90 second edited video with transitions, or add extra character detail.
What are some creative ways to make the poster or video more unique or impressive?
Add a homemade prop or a colorful illustration of your favorite scene, include simple transitions or background music in the video, glue in real photos for the character area, and finish by sharing the polished result on DIY.org.

Facts about media literacy and storytelling for kids
🎭 Creators use character sheets to keep personalities, looks, and voices consistent across episodes and artists.
🎬 Many TV shows start with a pilot episode that introduces characters and tests the idea before a full series is made.
🖼️ Posters were once hand-painted works of art — vintage poster art is now collectible and studied by designers.
🎥 Short videos (often under 2 minutes) are perfect for sharing one clear idea about a show and are hugely popular online.
🧩 Storyboards act like comic-strip blueprints that help plan camera angles, scenes, and timing before filming.
