This paper presents the development of a presentation team that shows, explains and provides useful advices to children in the domain of “healthy nutrition”. Agents of the team are endowed with different roles and personality traits so as to explain domain concepts from different viewpoints.

The presentation plan is distributed to the various team actors and it is adapted to the characteristics of the interlocutor. To test the system and to evaluate the efficacy of the team in this domain we used a family of characters already present in the cartoon world: the Smurfies.
