iMovie Storyboard Templates for Kids
📱 Creative Screen Time That Counts!
While we love our screen-free adventures, sometimes technology can spark incredible creativity! iMovie's storyboard templates help kids become storytellers, directors, and editors - turning passive screen time into active creation time.
Why this is different from regular screen time:
- • Creative output instead of passive consumption
- • Storytelling skills and narrative thinking
- • Planning and organization through storyboards
- • Technical skills in a fun, age-appropriate way
