Description:

How to Get Along with Your Fellow Bear provides four short stories that encourage being kind to one another. Each story has a special activity to do including making greeting cards, matching emotions, sorting toys & objects and an arcade-style game. Each bear (papa, mama, sister & brother) has a unique story and activity. The stories stem from their experiences living with each other and in the forest.

Features:

  • 1 player/2 player option
  • Three levels of difficulty
  • 4 short stories
  • 4 story-related activities

Technical Aspects:

Setup was very straightforward and extremely simple! The graphics are great and the voices are easy to hear and understand.

Report and Conclusions:

This was a different sort of program in that it didn't rely on playing games for entertainment. Instead, there were short stories with activities that enhanced learning. Preschoolers were able to sort through toys, make creative cards, and play a tricky but fun tree house game and match pictures with emotions. It is a program that really promotes positive responses from children and teaches them fun "life lessons". I really like the option of playing alone or with a partner as well as having different levels. This allows a program to have longer use and excitement. How to Get Along with Your Fellow Bear is an inspirational program to have on hand for any child in this age group. It promotes ideas about cooperation and empathy, and children will enjoy relating to sister and brother bear and will also be thrilled in helping with their adventures!
