Puppet Pals 2

Principal function(s): Story creatorsIndividual workSpeakingTeacherStudentYou Supply

Puppet Pals 2 is an iOS app for creating animated stories using digital puppets and backgrounds. Users can add their voices, select characters, props, and settings to craft their narratives, and then animate them using simple touch controls. These creations can later be saved and shared. Puppet Pals 2 is available on the Apple App Store, with additional in-app purchases for extra content. Signing up for an account is not required for use. Evaluation: Puppet Pals 2 is fun to use and can boost creativity. It can be especially helpful for students who dislike speaking in public or for foreign language students who want to improve their pronunciation. Users can invent new stories or retell existing ones using standard characters and backgrounds or import them from their devices.

Cost: Free.
