If you've taken a look at my video "How to ride a motorcycle" or "Becoming a wolfperson" you'll already have seen my student's adventures in learning to ride her BMW bike. Again, your students can get free vehicles from Yadni's Junkyard and drive them around. How cool is that? The possibilities here for teaching prepositions and prepositional phrases are wonderful.

I had my students in a level 1 class make a short video of themselves doing something in Second Life, show the video to the class by projecting it and describing what was happening simultaneously with the video. They were given time to prepare the presentation at home, but as most of them didn't, the presentations turned out to be extemporaneous--which actually was an even better way to practice language. You can try it either way depending on what you want to emphasize.
