Description
No prep sub plans for middle school are easy with my engaging, digital art project to build a sugar skull on Google Slides™. Students will practice technology skills with my digital Day of the Dead skull template and step by step art lesson. Then, pick a Día de los Muertos writing prompt to draft a creative story about their sugar skull craft.
Need fun, fast finisher activities for 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders? Digital art projects are paperless, take up no space, and don't use art materials. Simply assign the Day of the Dead project using your LMS, and stop worrying about early finishers!
TEMPLATES 2 WAYS
- The Google Slides version of this sugar skull lesson includes tech tips and step by step directions with pictures for independent learning. And, kids can build a sugar skull using either copy & paste or drag & drop.
- The Easel version is a highly simplified drag & drop activity that you can quickly assign.
OVERVIEW OF CREATING A DIGITAL SUGAR SKULL
First, your students will pick a background. Then, kids will paste (or drag) eyes, a nose, a mouth, and any decorations they like.
This digital art activity is a great for teaching symmetry. I’ve included directions on how to copy a graphic and flip it so the designs are symmetrical. I also explain how to group objects so kids can select several objects, group, and flip them all at once.

Such a great and fun digital activity! I was able to easily screen share to show my students each step and the different functions in Google Slides. I teach art and always love to do a Day of the Dead project each year, this was a great addition to my rotating lessons for this holiday.
