Activity Summary
The animated series Bluey serves as a valuable tool in fostering children's development of imagination, curiosity, and social and emotional learning. This activity uses intentional teaching strategies to focus on the capabilities of listening to others and responding. Children will explore the elements of being good listeners, listening closely to others and hearing the voices of others.
