Product Description
The Bear Cards is a de-luxe boxed set of 48 feelings cards featuring bear characters displaying a wide range of emotions.
The Bear Cards are an excellent way to engage children in conversations, games and activities about feelings. They are very popular among therapists and teachers.
What sets The Bear Cards apart from many other 'feelings' resources is their ability to engage children to identify with the characters. There are no barriers of age, race or gender - yet the facial expressions and body language are universally understood.
There are also no words and many of the cards are open to individual interpretation. There are no barriers based on literacy skill or language - this promotes discussion and an opportunity to expand a child's feelings vocabulary.
Emotional literacy and intelligence are crucial to a child's ability to succeed academically, professionally and socially as an adult, yet there is little formal education provided in this area at school.
The social and learning environments of pre and elementary school are ideal for introducing activities and games that will help develop and reinforce the following essential emotional competencies: The ability of children to recognize feelings in themselves and others, The ability to name or describe feelings, The ability to notice and accept feelings, The ability to express feelings in healthy ways, and The ability to relate to and understand the feelings of others - empathy.
Social and emotional learning is certainly gaining momentum within schools but, considering it's increasing importance in today's information and communication rich society, we can be doing much much more.
