Spore 2D lets you use the creature creator tool from the Spore computer game to create your own creatures. You can drag and reshape the basic body plan and then add a variety of different limbs, appendages and defence tools.
Students can create their own monsters for creative writing projects – perhaps as a story starter.
In Science it could be used when teaching about adaptation. Give students a specific set of conditions and see if they can invent a creature that could live there. Or students can design a creature and then explain where it lives, what it eats etc. (In a similar way, use Build Your Wild Self like this)
Spore 2D could also be used to create on-screen avatars in place of regular photos of the students.

As an alternative, but related tool you can use the Spore comic creator to use pre-designed Spore creatures in comic strips to tell your own stories.
