Investigation:
Find some inspiration! This could be other flipbooks, games, things from life, anything!
Primary: Talk to your peers, has anyone made flipbooks before? What is inspiring other people?
Secondary: YouTube, tutorials, etc
On your google sites: Evidence of inspiration, reflection on your findings (what is it? How is it inspiring to you?)
Going further: Look beyond flipbooks and games, is there an animal that moves in a way that sparks your creativity or an experience you've had that would make a fun gameplay mechanic?

Feedback is crucial! Share your progress with your peers. What do they think of your ideas? What do you think of theirs?

Evidence of feedback! Recordings, feedback on the padlet, whatever works for you but "They said" isn't enough!
Going further:
Analyse each other's gameplay itself, is it clear what's happening? How could your animation enhance what you're trying to convey to the player?
