Creating an extendable object

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a tongue that extends from one loccaation to wherever is touched on the screen and am incredibly stuck. I figure there'll need to be two actors, the tongue tip, which appears where the person touches the screen and the middle of the tongue, that appears from the mouth of our main character to the tip, but beyond that I am very very stuck and confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Take Care,

What kind of movement is the tongue supposed to make? Is it a quick flick that just needs a completely extended tongue to flash for a brief moment? Or does the tongue need to extend out over a certain time frame?
