This site is the right one to create funny avatars. Designing one takes just a couple of minutes.
You can choose from the outfit your avatar is supposed to wear, to the expression you want him/her to have on her face.
I created one myself in three minutes.
This site is highly recommended to work with children, and preadolescents.
Here you can see my creation:

This web page seems to be very appealing to students any age. Here, they can create their own characters,  choose the text-to-speech application, or add their own voice in order to make their own creation more personal.
The one I created is a boy called John, who is introducing himself, telling us his name, age and place of living.

Review on the site: ESLvideo.com

This site is wonderful to create quizzes using the videos you like most. You can choose the level of your students and the skill you want to focus on. Creating a quizz takes just a couple of minutes.
The one I designed is based on part of an episode of the series: Little Britain. The focus is on vocabulary about everyday English. Once the students have watched the video, they are supposed to answer a couple of questions.
You can have a look at my quizz below.
