EDL characters can really move!
If you love the EDL characters as much as we do, you might have wondered what it would be like if they could move around. Wonder no more! Twenty-six favourites have been brought to life and can viewed by clicking on the names below.
These are fun just to watch but we hope that they will also be useful for language learning activities. For example, you might get students to describe what is happening in each of the animations or discuss related topics. Hopefully, you'll find the following questions useful as a basis for discussion in any language.
You may to need to download Shockwaves Flash to view these animations.
