Make your comics online
I created makebeliefscomics.com as a place for you to come to and have fun by creating your own world of comic strips.
My hope is that by giving you a choice of characters with different moods and the chance to write words and thoughts for them, you will be able to tap into your creativity and explore new possibilities.
Afterall, there is no greater force in life than the power of the imagination to free us from our immediate problems and to spur our energies to find solutions to our befuddlements.
Teachers can use this comic strip game to
encourage youngsters to improve language, reading, and creative skills. For those who teach young and old how to read and write or to learn English as a second language, makebeliefscomix.com can be an invaluable tool in achieving these objectives.
