Younger children were glued to the screen. Some of the older kids thought the songs were cool even though they were too old for the content. Found it strange that there are only still photos of people - their mouths don't move when they speak. It made kids discuss ways in which they could help their own community. Young kids sang along and seemed to really be taking in the information. The section on body language was the favorite for most. "I learned a lot about feelings."
Deals with emotions and feelings on a young child's level. Children will enjoy the songs and the fun Q&A forum. With young children it would be good to show the lessons individually, and use it as a teaching tool. I like that the lyrics show up so older kids can sing along. Visually it's a bit lacking. Loved the menu access! You can play each lesson and/or song individually. Can be used to motivate children to understand body language, cooperation, conflict resolution and to be more caring. The songs are fun and entertaining, but the best part is that it shows positive ways for young children to learn to express their feelings
In a music-rich, animated environment, children learn strategies for handling feelings, responsibility and social well-being. Lively Q&A and hit songs engage children in a world of wellness and language arts learning in a fun radio show format.
