There are a great number of websites designed specifically for pre-teen children, where they can explore a virtual world and create their own avatar. A few of the most popular ones include Club Penguin, Fantage, WeeWorld and Runescape.
Club Penguin is unique in that players can create their own avatar in the form of a penguin, rather than a person or a mythical creature. The game is suitable for children up to 14 years of age, but is aimed at children slightly younger than this. The game community is owned, designed and maintained by Disney.
On Club Penguin, children can interact with other players' avatars, dance, send cards and presents and undertake lots of different tasks. The game is designed to be fun, but also to be educational and, moreover, safe. You can find the game at www.clubpenguin.com
Fantage is a multi-award winning game which provides players with the opportunity to design, dress and accessorize their own avatar. The game has the rating "E", which means it is suitable for players of all ages. Once a player has created an avatar, they can explore the virtual world of Fantage via hover board and play a wide variety of exciting online games.

Players can create their own avatar completely from scratch, or can use the templates and examples on the site as inspiration. Using their avatar, players can make friends, cook, and play games.
