I love having kids play with the story that a graph tells, or creating a graph that describes a story. I like this take on it: video.

I'm not sure I agree with all their categorizations, but that's fine. I like that there are a decent amount of video clips where the graph will not end up just looking like a picture of what happened (e.g. time vs. altitude when someone is climbing a mountain doesn't really help kids make sense of axes).
Just as important as having this library, it makes me think about other quick, easy activities that you could film and have kids graph. Extra bonus: have kids make their own 15-second films or find YouTube clips of something you could graph.
