Toontastic

This app is excellent for creating animations and can be used across a range of subjects. Children can choose from a range of themes, characters and objects to create their story. They can then structure their story by including the setup, conflict, challenge, climax and resolution. Children can move the characters on screen and record their voices. They can then add theme music which will set the mood for each scene. This app could be used for retelling stories, creating stories, exploring themes in S.E.S.E. and much more.

Telestory
Available from: Apple App Store and Android Store
Description:
This is an amazing app which I cannot recommend enough. Children can choose to be a TV Reporter, Weather Presenter, Spy and more and can create and record their own TV clip. Children can choose from a variety of fun backgrounds and costumes and can read from pre-loaded prompt cards which can also be edited to suit the topic where necessary. This app could be used to share Weekend News, to engage in role play and for developing communication skills.
