Hi,

These two folders could be used as a starting point:


http://mia.openworldlearning.org/animated_story/animated_story.htm

Animate the characters in your story. 
1 Click on shapes to open new pages. 
2 Click on each character to see a new message in the textbox. 
3 A hidden message appears when each character is clicked.  
4 Each character grows when it displays a hidden message.

A little critter asks questions and responds to your answers. 
1 Ask something, answer something, say something. 
2 Write to textboxes, change the Critter=B4s world. 
3 Change the Critter himself into a ball! 
4 Compose customized sentences. 
5 Customize some more with Variables. 
6 Guess the Critter=B4s number in this guessing game. 
7 This guessing game keeps score and gives rewards.
