SLJ : Rebus Puzzles Step it up

Hi bloggers!
Woah we have done so many tasks so far, I hope I can catch up soon aha!
Anyways , I have done another task the task is called Rebus Puzzles. If you have seen my previous post you will see that I did the kick start but now I am going into the Step it up! This activity is really cool. For this activity it is to make some puzzles, When I say puzzles I mean like those emoji ones, They are quite interesting to do !
We can either create a Google slideshow or a Google doc. I chose to make a slideshow, this slideshow contains 4 different puzzles. Each one gets slightly harder each time, the first one uses words and the rest are emojis. I made my slideshow look the best I could so I hope you enjoy it, And the slideshow will not contain the answers except for the first puzzle.

But before I show you the slideshow, I will show you an example slideshow I made for you to be able to understand how to do it, You can use a pen and paper to work it out if you want. Or you can picture it in your mind. This slideshow includes how to do it step by step. And you can also try working out the puzzle inside of it as well!

I love how I made the puzzle area! I hope you find this slideshow helpful 🙂
If you don’t quite understand from the example that is perfectly fine too! I can help, you can leave comments asking for help if you need.
Now if you understand how to do it, I am so glad that it helped out a bit. You can take a look at these Rebus Puzzles and try your best to work them out, remember you might not always get it the first try but it is alright. Rock it!

Here are my Rebus puzzles
I really hope that you enjoyed them, I tried my best to make them work. I had to scratch a lot of puzzle ideas. But I love how it turned out.
Let’s get to our reflection

REFLECTION – I love how it turned out, I think this is one of the funnest activities to do after tangrams. Even though I had to decline some puzzle ideas of mine, I like how the puzzles I ended up with were. They were a bit tricky for some of the people I tested it out with. Also probably my favourite part of the design is the puzzle  pieces, I think they worked out well together and I am proud of how I made it. Though it is not perfect it is amazing in my opinion.  What do you think about these puzzles? Did you enjoy them? Have you ever made Rebus puzzles before?

Anyways…
Thank you so much for checking out this blog post
Have an amazing day
See you in my next blog post
Bye!! :))

SLJ : Rebus Puzzles Kickstart

Hi bloggers!
Today I have done another SLJ activity , This activity is called Rebus puzzles. When I first saw this name  in my mind I was thinking… What are Rebus Puzzles? I had pictured something similar to tangrams but no! This shows that the title can be important and can intrigue people.
Rebus Puzzles Kickstarter activity is to make a Google doc, The Google doc will have a story but some of the words will be emojis. This is so interesting because the readers that are checking out this blog post are able to try and guess what the words are. Also the Author has to try and make a story and make sure the emojis kind of make sense? What I mean by making sense is basically like trying to make the emojis relate to the story  and like that emoji has to replace a word. Hope that made sense

But before we started this task we had to start by watching and exploring the videos.  I learnt how to put emojis in a Google doc, this video was quite helpful for me because before I didn’t quite know hot to put emojis into a Google doc.  I think the hardest part about this is making the storyline. But then again we didn’t have to create a whole novel, it just has to be a quite short story.
Anyways here is how my story looks!

I hope you liked it!
I found this activity really fun to do.
REFLECTION –
I  think I did better than I expected, The story turned out quite nice and I enjoyed how the emojis kind of made sense? This was my 1st time doing this i’m pretty sure.  Just wondering.. Have you ever done this before, If you have I would love to see your work! Also if you have done it before did you enjoy it and did you like how your story turned out?

Make sure to check out my step it up activity !
Keep shining
Have the best summer!
Bye!!
