Talking about a character’s feelings can make room for a thoughtful conversation. Pip’s Feelings activities use everyday picture stories to explore friendship, kindness, and ways to ask for support.
Listen for the two feelings a character names in each of six stories. Select both feeling words and notice that more than one feeling can be true at the same time. The task checks listening to a fictional character, not how a child should feel.
Caring Conversations
Practice six two-part conversations about space, helping, greetings, joining play, sharing, and asking for support. Each part accepts two caring replies. Hear buttons read each choice aloud, and stars mark completing the practice.
Notice and name feelings
Look at story situations and practice naming emotions. All feelings are welcome. The games do not ask children to report their own emotions.
Practice friendship and empathy
Explore friendship, solving problems, and noticing another person’s perspective. Ask what a character might need and listen to your child’s ideas.
Find calm and ask for help
Talk about calming strategies and trusted grown-ups. An optional breathing bubble offers three gentle breaths; children can stop, skip it, or follow their own pace.
A FEW MINUTES TOGETHER
How to get started
Choose a story and describe the situation together.
Pause to hear your child’s ideas before choosing an answer.
Use the story to practice a phrase such as “Can you help me?” or “Can I have a turn?”
There is no time limit for answering. A correct answer moves to the next question after five seconds; Next moves on sooner. Follow your child’s pace and pause whenever they need a break.
Learning at home, your way
Great teachers give children guidance and encouragement every day. Families can build on classroom lessons or use these games for extra practice alongside their homeschool curriculum. Choose what connects with your child’s interests and what you are teaching.
