Do I need a fancy green screen?

No, you do not! If you have an actual green screen, that is great. If you don’t, no problem! I use green butcher paper taped up on my white board in my classroom. You can also use a green bed sheet or a green table cloth. Anything that is large enough to cover and is a solid green color.
