Pixel Day of the Dead 1 - Letters and Numbers

Ideal for teachers to work in class with your students, homework, extra activity, or for parents who want to reinforce at home with their children in a fun way.

This file is made in Excel has the drawings of 6 Day of the Dead theme: Catrina, Altar, Ofrendas, Calavera, Catrin head, Catrina head.

The drawings are pixel squares, and you can modify the values of the key color with the data you want. You can work with letters or numbers, and automatically the values of the printing sheet will be modified with the values that you placed.

-------------------------------------

  In this example a student is practicing the ABC with the "Altar of the Dead" (Altar de Muertos) draw.

STEP 1.- Modify the color key from the the character sheet that says (edit) with the data you want, in this example we are working with the the a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i letters. The only editable areas are those in green, which correspond to the instructions you will give to the students at the top of the sheets, and the values of the key color to the left of the drawing.

STEP 2.- When you modify the (edit) sheet, the (print) sheet is automatically modified with the values you placed, for example, in this example we type the value of the key color red as "a", so automatically the values of all the red squares of the drawing change to "a", in the key color white: "b", then automatically all the white squares change to "b", and so on. In the sheet (print) the colors will not appear 'cause this is the one that will print to give to your students.

STEP 3.- When you finish editing, you can see how the character will end up drawn and what values it will use, so at the end you just have to print the "print sheet" of the character, that will be the one that you will give to your students to work.

STEP 4.- The student will be coloring the squares trying to discover the mysterious character and when he/she finished it.. IT'S READY!!!!! 

   One of the thing we enjoy the most is when the students had finish coloing the worksheet and discover the mysterious character, the get really happy and suprised and run to show it to their friends and also looking for which one he/she discovered, this encourages them to finish their worksheet and of course, they want more!!!! :D

TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: 

 * At the end the kids can decorate the worksheet with balled-up bits of crepe paper or ripped paper, this helps to reinforce the children's motor skills.

 * As an extra activity, the kids can make their character with hama beads or iron perlers, so they can have a prize for a well done job. You can give it to the first 6 students who finish the worksheet, so you can keep them busy while the rest of the class finish. This can motivate to the other kids to finish soon the worksheet next time.
