Zimmer Twins is an amazing Canadian website which allows you to create your own cartoon. You can use different backgrounds, characters with their different faces and expressions, movement and other extras. The interface is very user-friendly and intuitive. Simple clicks and drop-down menus help you create a nice story that you can later share with your friends. I’m sure students will love it!

Nice and short activity from 
, a nice website from Time magazine, which offers adapted news and other resources. Maybe the focus is a bit too much on the USA, but some things are useful. The game zone gives the same impression, but this activity I’m posting here on a green house, is a very interesting way to help students learn how to be more environmentally-friendly. It’s not a game, really, it’s just a small applet, but nice!
