All you have to do is supply your witty words to the many talking heads and give them a voice to converse, to talk or sing to one another, to tell jokes and riddles. It’s all up to you about what they say! Just give them the words they need! Instructions on how to use "Give Me Words" are below.

CLICK HERE TO CHOOSE CHARACTERS FOR YOUR CONVERSATIONS!

Remember, you can use the FLIP command in the tool bar box on the Create Comix! page to switch a character to look to the left – this way two characters can face one another.

HOW TO USE "GIVE ME WORDS"

  • Practice writing dialogue (a great way to use new vocabulary for those learning English). You can use this dialogue for your stories or plays or for real life conversation and experiences.
  • Tell jokes or riddles or knock-knocks.
  • Build stories by having different characters in different comic panels add to the story started by a character in the first panel – ‘’Once upon a time…’’
  • Have the heads sing songs or create new lyrics as each character adds a new line to a song you are writing.
  • Create ‘’He said, she said’’ comic panels in which your characters express different points of view on a subject; this could be useful to practice debating.
  • Express what’s on your mind – the good and the bad, the happy and sad – even the mad.
  • Have characters whisper secrets to one another.
  • Use the talking heads to bounce ideas off one another.
  • Play ‘’Pass it on’’ — create a multi-panel comic strip in which a character whispers a message and see how the next person relays and changes that message as it is passed on from character to character.
  • Email short messages to your friends and family using the  talking head comics you create.
  • Practice a new language you are learning, with a character speaking in the new language and another responding (Remember, MakeBeliefsComix.com allows you to type your dialogue in different languages.).
  • Practice for a interview by having one character ask you questions about yourself and the character representing you gives an answer.   Or, use a head to practice the types of questions you will want to ask the doctor on your next visit. This helps prepare you so you don’t get flustered in the real situation.
  • Choose a talking head to represent you and have him or her talk to you about what’s on your mind or help you think through a problem.
  • Have the faces express a brand new language you have created for yourself and friends.
  • You can also incorporate using the talking heads in the regular comic strips you create at MakeBeliefsComix.com

USEFUL IDEA:
If you are a student learning new vocabulary, after you fill in your talk or thought balloon why not read OUT LOUD what you wrote? That's a great way to practice using the new words!

We welcome your own creative ideas to use talking heads.  Send them to billz@makebeliefscomix.com and if you give us permission we’ll add them to the list.

We hope you will enjoy this new Comic Starters feature. You can contact us at billz@makebeliefscomix.com with your own ideas.

To share and display your creations in our Comix Gallery, send them to billz@makebeliefscomix.com, along with a note giving us permission. Also, build your own Comic Art Portfolio by saving your comic strips online with us (click on SIGN IN TO SAVE ONLINE button on Create Comix! page), or by printing or emailing your comix to yourself to include in your own personal portfolio. You'll take pride in what you will have accomplished at the end of the school term!

DIGITAL ENTHUSIASTS
LUV, LUV, LUV THEIR DEVICES;
HELP THEM COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR WORDS!

Here’s some ways to use these new characters in your comic stories:

  • Fill in thought balloons to convey what the digital enthusiasts are thinking as they write or read.
  • Have them keep digital diaries of their lives – what happened to them today? (Maybe one of them represents you.)
  • What important email or text message did they just receive or send? Fill in a talk balloon with the message.
  • Create a story for them to tell, or a joke for them to share.
  • What are they searching for on the Internet? What new thing did they learn today?
  • Are they writing or receiving words of hope, words of love, words of anger, words of surprise, words of sadness?  Write their words in thought or talk balloons.
  • Place pairs of digital enthusiasts together in your comic as they exchange thoughts.

We welcome your own creative ideas to use digital enthusiasts.  Send them to billz@makebeliefscomix.com and if you give us permission we’ll add them to the list.
