Mini-Mizer 3.0 is a really nice way to get your students creating avatars. It's really easy to use and they can quickly click through the various options for customising the basic blank figure.

You can also use Mini-Mizer 3.0 in classes to develop language of description.
- You could write some brief descriptions of people and get students to try create an avatar of them.
- You could describe a famous person, get the students to create an avatar and then guess who the famous person is. The students could decide which avatar looks most like the celebrity.
- Students could work in pairs, one with an image that they describe but don't show while the other listens / asks questions and tries to recreate an avatar version of the image.
- Students could create avatars of someone in the class and the others could try to guess who it is.
