Add a surprise!
Now, you need to add a surprise. What could happen to the object?
- Will it turn into another object?
- Will it turn into a character?
- Will it disappear and reveal another sprite?
You decide! Create the third part of your animation.
Have you written a story with a plot twist or a surprise? Have you watched a show or read a book with an unpredictable ending? You can use the same methods when you create a digital story or animation.
When will the surprise happen?
Select the 🎂🎾🎁 interesting object sprite. Add a script to make the surprise start when you want it to.
You will need to choose a time delay that works for your project. If you have a character that spends a long time being curious, you will need to choose a longer delay.

Now, create the surprise!
The object could play a sound, switch costume, change graphic effects, or change size.
You could add a surprising costume to the sprite, then the sprite could switch costume to reveal it.
You could make the sprite seem to turn into a different sprite — to do this, hide the 🎂🎾🎁 interesting object sprite at the same time as you show another sprite.
