This is fun, but it is important how to use this in the classroom. I can see the students can waste so much time, just creating their characters. I have only 40 minutes lesson twice a week. Maybe this is a bit of treat?!?. I am sure that the students will love it.

    You're absolutely right! They do waste time personalising their characters. A good way to avoid this is to first demo voki with the class and then have them create character descriptions in the target language (My Voki has... red hair / green eyes / a big smile / etc) for another student to re-create. Or for higher-level learners, as a "wanted" criminal description! etc.

    Alternatively, you can set a time limit and use a timer! Anyone who hasn't finished is stuck with how their character looks!
