New Care Bears Episode Airs This Saturday 2/23
Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-lot is the updated graphics version of the 1980s Care Bears. It brings back many of the same characters from the original Care Bears in much improved animation for a new generation of kids to enjoy. It airs on many CBS stations as part of their Saturday morning cartoons. This Saturday, February 23, the episode is new. The name of the two mini episodes are “Two of a Kind” and “Stand Up and Cheer.” Check your local TV Guide listings here to find if and when it airs on your local CBS Station (for most stations it airs at 7am or 10am).
Care Bears continues to be an educational show that kids can love, especially girls. The show teaches about a specific emotional or social concept in every episode, such as sharing. The new Care Bears’ show website for parents even has some Teaching Moment guides for past episodes. These guides have a video clip of the episode and a PDF guide with an episode summary, learning objectives for the episode, an activity or craft, and discussion questions. The Teaching Moments video clips and links to download the teaching guides can be found here. These are especially helpful when the Saturday episode is a repeat because you can plan ahead to watch the whole episode (much better than only basing the teaching moment on a video clip) and then do the activity. You can see what episode is airing by checking TV Guide listings for the show here. For example, March 1st the episode is a repeat of Ice Creamed and Heat Wave. There is a Teaching Moments guide for the Heatwave part of the episode that involves coloring a whale and learning about fears and overcoming them.
