What you do

After splitting The Nativity into six main parts, each table is given a different part of the event and has to take photos of their peers in the appropriate scenes. Each table has its own iPad and will use the Strip Design app to make the scene which, their table has been given. Take photos of the different parts of each scene and import them into Strip Design and choose a template. Use the speech bubbles to give a dialogue to the scene.
