Make Beliefs Comix is a fun site, even for people like me who are not very creative. I have friends who could do wonderful things there!


This site provides the panels, characters (with a variety of expressions), objects, and word and thought bubbles to create a comic strip in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Latin. It includes links to help you create special characters for those languages. The finished product can be printed or emailed.

Following is a comic I created illustrating a beginning Spanish conversation. Remember I said I'm not creative...

I'm sure teachers can think of lots of ways to incorporate this into the classroom for either their own or students' use: to create conversation or story starters, to practice with dialogue in English or a foreign language, to demonstrate appropriate/inappropriate or desirable/undesirable behavior, and, I'm sure, many others.

You can click on "How to Play" on the website for help, but if you'd like step-by-step instructions check out Russel Stannard's  video tutorial.
