One Million Giraffes is an online project in which one person is hoping to collect 1 million giraffes by 2011. People are sending pictures of their giraffes (which can’t be created on a computer) and at the time of writing, the collection has reached over 250,000!
Could your class get involved?
- Ask each child to draw one giraffe… or maybe more! This could be as part of an Art activity or set as homework.
- Think of creative ways of making giraffes… they don’t have to be hand-drawn but they cannot be made using a computer.
- Explore the giraffe images on the site… how were they made? Could your pupils create their own giraffes using similar techniques?
Get your pupils involved and have one of their giraffes as part of the million!
