One great feature of Storyboard That is the ability to create cards! Students can use the amazing scenes, characters, and items to make a spooky card to celebrate Halloween.
1. Create a three-cell storyboard for Halloween. This could be a short story (beginning, middle, and end), a joke, a message to a friend, or whatever you want!
Cell 2 is the left inside page.
Cell 3 is the back of the card.
The right inside page is a pre-selected message. Choose the artwork and message that works best for you!
Storyboards of any layout can be converted into a folding card, but only the first three cells will appear. Titles and descriptions are not printed on the card.
2. After you save your storyboard, click "Make a Folding Card".
3. Print out pop-up image, and fold.
4. Hold the paper so the front of the card is right-side-up in the bottom right corner. Then, fold the paper in half away from you (you should see the back of the card on the left and the front of the card on the right). Fold the paper again so you only see the front.
5. Don't forget to sign your card!
There you have it! A Storyboard That Halloween card!
