Together or Apart, We are Kind:

A Parent’s Guide to Learning With Peppa Pig

Peppa Pig is a beloved friend to young children everywhere. She is lively and lovable, a burst of positive energy, fun, and giggles. Children easily relate to—and learn from—her entertaining adventures.

Right now is the perfect time to welcome Peppa and her pals into your home. Like so many others, your family is probably dealing with lots of new situations, from parents working at home to childcare facilities being closed to children being separated from friends and family. Peppa Pig provides a great support for your child as Peppa encounters everyday experiences—both familiar and unfamiliar—and provides a role model for positivity and resilience.

Many Peppa Pig episodes address social-emotional learning (SEL), which is an important topic in schools, preschools, and daycares, and something you teach every day at home. As students build SEL skills, they learn to:

understand and handle their emotions

set goals and work towards them

understand that others have feelings too

interact with others in a positive way

make responsible and age-appropriate decisions

Learning Along With Peppa

home

Peppa Pig © Astley Baker Davies Ltd / Entertainment One UK Ltd 2003. www.peppapig.comText and design by The Education Center

Every day, as your child interacts with you, other family members, and friends, these SEL skills come into play. Similarly, there’s plenty of social-emotional learning that takes place during Peppa Pig episodes too, as Peppa and her friends provide positive examples for children and rich topics for discussion at home. For example:

Self-awareness: Children witness how the emotions and thoughts of characters influence their behavior. Peppa and her pals focus on their strengths rather than their limitations.

Self-management: Things don’t always go the way Peppa, her family, and her friends expect them to. Yet this doesn’t stop the characters. Instead they seek positive solutions and discover joyful outcomes.

Social awareness: Kindness, respect for others, and an appreciation of diversity are at the core of Peppa Pig episodes.

Relationship skills: The interactions between Peppa, her family members, and friends are true to life. The importance of listening, teamwork, and cooperation are repeatedly addressed.

Decision making: Peppa and her friends don’t always know what to do or how to do something. They do their best and learn as they go. Next time they encounter a decision, they might do things differently!

Use our quick and fun materials to create lots of quality learning moments at home. Here’s how to get started:

WATCH one of our featured Peppa Pig episodes with your child. Each is about five minutes long and loaded with learning opportunities. They are available at https://bit.ly/2QOoZaJ or https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFEgnf4tmQe9HRJg2aGBlilN0kUt3H3CZ

Ricky Zoom is the brand new, only all-bike show for preschoolers. Ricky Zoom dreams of being a rescue bike, just like his parents. Together with his Bike Buddies, Loop, Scootio, and DJ, Ricky races around Wheelford on awesome adventures, learning to help when others are in need. Check out our free Ricky Zoom educational activities and zoom into fun and learning!

Introduce your child to a new friend!

Z-z-z-zoom Like Ricky!

Little ones get to rev their engines and build literacy skills. To get stared, gather your

child at one end of an open area. At the opposite end stick a colorful piece of tape

to the floor.

Show your child a purse or jacket that has a zipper. Guide him or her to notice that

the word zipper begins with the /z/ sound. Tell your child about Ricky Zoom, a

rescue bike who loves to zoom from place to place. Ask your child how the words

zipper and zoom are alike. Confirm that both words begin with the /z/ sound.

Say a word from the list below. Ask your child to repeat the word and clap his or her

hands if the child hears the /z/ sound. When the /z/ sound is identified, say “It’s time

to ZOOM!” The child then zooms to the tape and back. Repeat several times with

new words from the word list.

Parent tip: As your child gains proficiency with identifying the /z/

sound, slip in other words that don’t start with /z/. Remind him or

her to clap and zoom only if the word starts with /z/.

Word listzebra, zoo, zero, zap,

zag, zone, zip, zucchini

Ricky Zoom © Frog Box and Entertainment One UK Limited 2020www.rickyzoom.comText and design by The Education Center

Ricky Zoom and his Bike Buddies—Loop, Scootio, and DJ—are great

friends. They love zooming around together on their bikes and are

always ready for new adventures.

Remind your child that the best way to make friends is to be a good

friend. Lead him or her in describing the actions of good friends,

such as being kind and helpful, being willing to share and take turns,

being truthful and encouraging, and being respectful and accepting of

differences. Then have your child join you in singing and moving to the

following upbeat song!

You’re a Friend!(sung to the tune of “She’ll Be Coming ’Round the Mountain”)

Words Actions[Clap your hands] if you’re a friend, [clap your hands]! Clap twice.

[Clap your hands] if you’re a friend, [clap your hands]! Clap twice.

You’re a friend because you share.

You’re a friend because you care.

[Clap your hands] if you’re a friend, [clap your hands]! Clap twice.

Continue with the following words and actions: stomp your feet,

pat your head, shake your hips, touch your toes.

Be a Friend,Make a Friend
