The Allen Adventure vs InnerSteps

Blast off on an exciting adventure with Allen – the new kid in class… who also happens to be an alien from another planet! Allen’s eager to make friends, join in games and learn all about Earth kids, but finding your place in a new school isn’t always easy. In this interactive story, children help Allen navigate the ups and downs of making friends, joining in, and understanding how others feel. Along the way, they’ll pick up important social and emotional skills like recognising unkind behaviour, sharing and building positive relationships. Packed with fun activities, sing-alongs, and opportunities to explore, The Allen Adventure turns learning about kindness, resilience and feelings into an exciting mission. Designed for children aged 3 to 8 years, The Allen Adventure empowers young learners by promoting kindness, resilience, and pro-social behaviours. It’s a great tool to prepare kids for kindergarten and early school years, while also helping to prevent bullying and foster empathy. Perfect for little learners – and aliens of all ages! Allen's Adventure is best enjoyed in landscape view — please ensure your device is set to landscape for the best experience! Developed collaboratively by all Australian education authorities, The Allen Adventure supports safe and inclusive learning environments.

For the kid who feels it all. InnerSteps is where kids 5-9 learn to handle the hard moments, from school mornings to bedtime to worries, through stories and games they genuinely love. Built with 50+ child psychologists. Free to start. No ads ever. SOUND FAMILIAR? The morning that falls apart before you are even out the door. The worries that show up right at bedtime. The "I do not want to go" that seems to come from nowhere. This is not who your child is. They just have not been shown what to do yet. HOW INNERSTEPS WORKS Watch it. Practise it. Use it. 1. WATCH IT Your child follows Ricky, a croc who feels it all, and his best mate Waffle, a tiny wizard-detective mouse. Together they face the exact moments your child faces, and learn what to do. 2. PRACTISE IT Then a game makes the skill stick. By practising it in play, they make it truly theirs. 3. USE IT So when the real hard moment comes, your child knows exactly what to do. On their own, without you having to prompt them.
