Wacky Web Tales (3rd grade and up): http://www.eduplace.com/tales/
 | Kids add information like:
your name favorite color favorite animal (plural) favorite band day of the week (many more) |
and then a story is generated with the information they have provided. The story can be printed for repeated readings. (The included list is just an example - the list of what kids add depends on which ones of the 40 or so possible stories they select.) Way COOL!
