🎬 LEGO StoryStudio – Creative Storytelling Through Animation

Ms. Bee’s Homeschool – Spring Semester

LEGO StoryStudio is a hands-on, imagination-driven class where students learn the foundations of storytelling through the fun and accessible world of LEGO stop-motion animation. This class is designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and help students express their ideas in a visual and exciting way.

Students will explore the building blocks of narrative writing — character creation, setting, plot, conflict, dialogue, and resolution — and then bring their stories to life using basic stop-motion techniques. Each week, students will plan, build, film, and edit short animated scenes using LEGO bricks and simple technology.

Rather than focusing on technical perfection, this class emphasizes:

    •    creative thinking

    •    problem-solving

    •    teamwork

    •    imaginative world-building

    •    developing a storyteller’s voice

    •    communicating ideas clearly and confidently

Throughout the semester, students will:

    •    design characters and mini LEGO sets

    •    storyboard their ideas

    •    practice shot framing and sequencing

    •    create short stop-motion clips

    •    add simple dialogue, sound, or music

    •    present their mini films to the class

All materials will be provided. Students are welcome (but not required) to bring a favorite minifigure to feature in their stories.

This class nurtures creativity, collaboration, and joy — perfect for builders, storytellers, and kids who love to bring their ideas to life.
