Why Choose BeTheBuffalo?
Not just another SEL program—a complete learning adventure designed from the ground up to engage K-5 students
vs. Traditional SEL Curricula (Second Step, etc.)

While programs like Second Step rely on teacher-led scripts and workbook pages, BeTheBuffalo immerses students in interactive buffalo stories where they make real choices, solve authentic problems, and see consequences unfold in engaging narratives.
- Students actively participate in branching storylines, not passive listeners
- Characters students love and remember (buffalo friends!)
- Self-paced learning that adapts to individual needs

Interactive Stories
Branching narratives with real choices
vs. Behavior Tracking Tools (ClassDojo, etc.)
Teaches Skills, Not Just Points
Unlike ClassDojo's behavior point systems that reward/punish without teaching, BeTheBuffalo develops the actual competencies students need. Our Garden of Feelings doesn't just track emotions—it teaches students HOW to identify, understand, and manage them.
- Instruction + practice + application, not just tracking
- Builds intrinsic motivation through mastery, not external rewards
- Develops understanding of WHY behaviors matter
