Bluey - Imaginative Play and Learning

Early LearningSocialSocial and Emotional Learning

This is a collection of intentional teaching activities based on various episodes of the children's show "Bluey". Each activity focuses on a specific capability such as finding your voice, caring and kindness, patience, perseverance, inclusivity, storytelling, communication, responsibility, and friendship. The activities use play-based approaches to help children develop social and emotional skills. “Socio dramatic play is the pinnacle of play and drives the heart of the show. This type of play sees kids working at their highest level of imagination, cooperation and group interaction.” – JOE BRUMM, Bluey Creator.

These lessons have been developed in partnership with Ludo Studio. We would like to acknowledge the support of ABC Kids, BBC Studios, Screen Australia and Screen Queensland. Cool Australia would like to thank the Phillips Foundation and the Thyne Reid Foundation for supporting the creation of the Early Learning Resource hub.
