Play →The Catbears Philosophy: Learning Through Play
Our interactive social games are built on the principle that children learn social-emotional skills best through active practice and exploration.
Choice-Based Learning
Unlike passive stories, our games put children in the driver's seat. By making choices and seeing outcomes, they develop a deeper understanding of how their actions affect others and learn to think through social situations.
Multiple Paths, Multiple Lessons
Each game can be played multiple times with different outcomes. This teaches children that there isn't just one "right" way to handle social situations—there are many thoughtful approaches, each with its own consequences.
Empathy Through Experience
By controlling characters and seeing how choices affect them, children naturally develop empathy. They experience what it feels like when someone is kind or dismissive, building emotional intelligence through gameplay.
What are SEL Games?
SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) games are interactive experiences that help children practice important social and emotional skills in a safe, engaging way. Through making choices and seeing outcomes, children learn empathy, conflict resolution, and how to support others.
Our games use puppet theatre scenarios with the Catbears characters, allowing children to explore different responses to real social situations they encounter in daily life.
About The Catbears Interactive Social Games
Each game presents a scenario where our Catbears characters face a social challenge—like helping a friend who is having a bad day, or navigating a conflict. As you play, you make choices about how the characters respond, and see how those choices affect the situation.
The games are designed to be played multiple times, exploring different paths and outcomes. This helps children understand that there are many ways to handle social situations, and builds confidence in their social decision-making.
How Our SEL Games Help
Interactive Learning
Children actively participate in the story, making choices and seeing immediate feedback on how their decisions impact the characters.
Real-World Scenarios
Games feature situations children actually encounter—supporting a sad friend, resolving disagreements, showing empathy when someone is struggling.
Safe Practice Space
Children can explore different responses without real-world consequences, building confidence and understanding in a judgment-free environment.
