SEL Interventions for Grades K-8

Zoo Academy: Grades K-1

Your youngest learners explore the basics of social emotional skills by progressing their way through a fictional school called Zoo Academy.

They are guided by Principal Howard and their teacher, Ms. Castillo where they assist new classmates in learning appropriate behaviors and self-regulation.

Zoo Academy includes 18 unique lessons, and these lessons can be replayed until the student achieves mastery.

Zoo U: Grades 2-4

In Zoo U, students continue their social emotional developmental journey in a fictional,school-based game.

Like Zoo Academy, the first six scenes are focused on skill assessment, and the remaining scenes help the student build skills.

In total Zoo U includes 36 unique lessons.

Regardless of their starting point, all students can progress at their own pace and learning ability to achieve mastery.

SS GRIN: Grades 3-5

In Adventures Aboard the S.S. GRIN, students are challenged to assist the residents of Pacifico Island by helping them restore friendship by joining the SS GRIN crew.

Along the way, students will complete 9 immersive scenes where they learn: Respect, Think Ahead, Taking Responsibility, Communication, Check it Out, Building Friendships, and Cooperation.

In Hall of Heroes, students enroll in a superhero middle school where they must build their powers and skills to make friends, resist peer pressure, and save the school from supervillain Dr. Klepto.

In addition, students improve middle school readiness skills, such as locker combinations and getting to class on time.

By building their skills as the story unfolds, they become more confident when they encounter similar challenges in real-world situations.

Stories in Motion: High Needs

With Stories in Motion, students with high SEL needs, including ASD, are guided to create personalized social narratives around common school scenarios.

Students are able to choose from 12 topics to create a personalized narrative using dialogue and thought options. These topics include anxiety, bullying, cooperating, coping, friendship, joining in, listening, personal space, perspective taking, sportsmanship, stop and think, and transitions.

With each lesson, students receive a printable comic book that reflects the unique choices they made while playing.

How To Use Our Programs

Our online SEL interventions are developmentally appropriate for students in grades K – 8. And each program typically takes a semester or two for students to complete and master.

After logging into your educator account, create an account for each student, and assign them to one of the five programs. Don’t worry. This only takes about 30 seconds per student.

When your students log in, they first create a personalized avatar to represent them within the game, and then they begin playing and learning. Each student’s path through the story will be different based on their choices and how they respond to other students.

We recommend that students play for about 20 or 30 minutes per session and to play once or twice a week. At this rate, and after replaying some scenes, they should complete the program over the course of a semester or the school year.

Individual student licenses are $12 per student, and with a license, students can use any of our programs for 12 months.

You can learn more about volume discounts on our purchasing page.
