BugBears from the BBC
Welcome to Bugtopia! where you can share your stories and listen to how others feel. Bugtopia is made up of 10 main topic areas: Family, Friends, School, Bullying, Our World, Body and Mind, My Future, Makes Me Happy, Makes Me Sad, and Other Stuff.
Children can create their own Bugbear and describe their own fears or concerns or things that are ‘bugging’ them. They can listen to similar stories on the site and show their immediate support with hugs, respect or comments. Children with similar concerns can take comfort from other Bugbears. Bugbears is all about sharing sincere life experiences and building empathy and support from ordinary children.
Bugbears recently won best children’s innovation at the Royal Television Society Awards and is becoming the number one communication forum for young children.
Pinball from the BBC
Pinball is all about your ideas. There are currently four fun and simple ways to make your thoughts get busy. You can blurt out your ideas, organise them, mix them up, distort them, map them and even decide between them (that’s always the hard bit).
