I think you can just drag the GIF and drop it on the Scratch project and it will import it.

What don't you get?
HarryPotterGal this shouldn't be in Show and Tell. Put it in "all about Scratch" or something
Sorry if I sounded strict. School just started and it's very stressful

Paddle2See is right, but make sure you drag it into a sprite's Cosutmes tab, otherwise it'll create new backgrounds for each frame of the animated .gif you drag in.

right click on the gif, hit "save image as" then open the file in scratch, and each costume is a frame. (just hit make a forever block, and do: <next costume>
<wait(0.1 )secsc>)

Re: Help! How do I import GIFS?
These are two different questions: How do I import an animated GIF (which many are calling an animated sprite)? and Why isn't my imported animated GIF still animated once it is in Scratch?
An animated GIF is a special image format that stores a sequence of images and some proprietary code describing how long they should each be displayed for and in what sequence.
When you import an animated GIF into Scratch all of the images are copied as costumes, but you lose the GIF code. So if you want the imported images to be animated you'll have to add your own Scratch code. Maybe like this:
When Flag pressed
Forever
wait .03 seconds
next costume
End of Forever
