Mannequin challenge

The May Creative Classroom Group Challenge!

Be part of it with your students!!!

What is the Mannequin Challenge?

It is a new online trend which sees people uploading

videos of them looking as though they've been frozen in time. Once the clip has been recorded, social media users are sharing the footage with the hashtag #MannequinChallenge.

Teenagers from the USA started off the viral movement and most clips have the music by Rae Sremmurd’s Black Beatles featuring Gucci Mane playing in the background.

Many famous people followed this trend! — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=az1QhQZOUbI

So, why not in eTwinning?

better, but it’s not required.

Themes: Classroom theme: Ask your students to freeze while they are showing us what they do in the class during the day. A nice way to have classes around Europe.

Music: Music is another great addition to your video We will use the rap/techno and rock versions of

Europe’s anthem but as the purpose is to create a common video, all the videos sent to me should not have sound!!!

You can of course create one with sound, if you want to have it for you!

Music links: Rock version, Techno version, Hip Hop version

Additional info!

In case you don’t want to have the faces of your

students in the video, you can become creative by using masks, try different shoots e.g. back, not closeups but please don’t blur the video analysis!

Send the plain video without texts or graphics Send the video without music All participating students and teachers will receive a certificate of participation
