I love this new TV series for children that challenges their thinking! Each film contains an animated parable, that can be used in the classroom or at home to engage in philosophical puzzlement. Everyday questions and pondering are explored and each film consist of a variety of different children’s responses to the questions.
A perfect starting point for some Think Diving where you can use critical or lateral strategies to examine the questions.
- Am I Always Responsible for my Actions?
- What is Fair?
- Why Should I be Good?
- Why Owns the Sky?
- What Makes Me, Me?
