Have you and your students had fun with the   PhotobombGenerator ?

Do you know what a photobomb is? According to Google.....

pho·to·bomb
ˈfōtōˌbäm/
verb
informal
  1. 1.
    spoil a photograph of (a person or thing) by suddenly appearing in the camera's field of view as the picture is taken, typically as a prank or practical joke.

                          ...and it is fun!

  

Have you ever taken a photo and something is there that shouldn't be?Well now the kids can 

do this on purpose and write a story about it! We took our photo booth photos from

writing about their 'new friend'!
