In the game children move through a virtual zoo with a zoo keeper. As they go through the virtual zoo the zoo keeper will ask students to take pictures of animals who are demonstrating running, jumping, stomping, and other movements.
Shutterbugs Wiggle and Stomp can be played online. The game is also available as a free iPad app.
