Activity 1. Where’s Wally?
Task 1: Change the background colour

Task 2: Add images (pictures)
Watch the video to learn how to add pictures of people and objects to your page, then resize them. Then add one character or object which is different from all of the rest, this will be the character the reader will need to find. Leave a space to put your instructions.
Task 3: Add text

Tip
Use the backspace key to delete a letter and type it again.
