of the board almost as soon as I posted it, I'll re-post my suggestion here:
'Sian Can'
Get a picture of Sian Lloyd - and have a database of animated gifs of her doing verbs.
There is a text box saying 'Sian can...' If you type in, say, 'jump', you see her jump.
If you type in a word she cannot do, she cries.
Like a kind of weird tamogotchi.

image of the front of the box. I think he was a tomato-thing or something.

Unfortunately the site that this google image came from is not available. boo. And I can't find any other pictures. But I did find a Disk file for a BBC emulator (I can't be bothered to install one though)
