They started with a blank Keynote (so there&#8217;s no template to download) which means they made these animations from scratch&#8211;a pretty remarkable feat for kindergarteners!  First they typed the word &#8220;Thanksgiving&#8221; for the title, then they added their names. They also chose a theme for their Keynote by clicking the Themes button. I showed them how to do a Google Image search for a &#8220;pilgrim.&#8221;  They clicked on the pilgrim picture they liked and dragged it onto their Keynote (the teacher and I had to help a lot with this part, but a few students were able to do it on their own). Then I showed them how to click the Shapes tool, choose a circle, and change the color to orange so it looked like a pumpkin. They typed the number 1 in the pumpkin. I told them they could choose how many pumpkins they wanted to make, from 1-10.  They created the rest of their pumpkins and typed in the numbers.  Next we opened the Inspector and added animations to each pumpkin using the Build-In tool.  We also added an ending using the Transitions tool.  Finally I taught them how to record their voices, and I pointed out that they needed to sound like they were on a TV show, talking about counting.
