Meet Moshi Monsters – the Primary Class Virtual Pets. By grahamstanley Moshi Monsters is a virtual pet game and popular safe social network for young kids similar to Club Penguin.

Grammar Mascots

This interactive allows students to create their own trading card about a real or fictional person, place, object, event, or abstract concept.
