Bloom – an interactive game that helps pupils practise regulation

In every classroom there are moments when attention drifts, emotions rise or the room becomes unsettled.

Learning becomes much harder in those moments.

Our work with schools focuses on helping pupils develop one essential skill: the ability to pause, settle themselves and return to learning.

We do this through an immersive digital experience using a tablet or classroom screen that helps pupils practise emotional regulation in short, engaging sessions.

A playful way to practise regulation that helps pupils:

Settle Quickly

Helping pupils calm their bodies and refocus after transitions or busy moments.

Strengthen Attention

Supporting pupils to sustain focus and stay engaged with learning.

Build Resilience

Encouraging pupils to notice frustration, pause and keep going when learning feels challenging.

 

Respond Rather than React

Giving pupils simple tools they can use when emotions run high

 

Where schools use it in the day

Schools use the platform in different ways depending on their needs. Common moments include:

After break or lunch
A short reset before returning to learning

Transitions between activities
Helping the day flow more smoothly and reducing low-level disruption.

When the room feels unsettled
A moment to pause, breathe and restore focus.

Targeted support
Used with smaller groups of pupils who benefit from extra help with regulation.

Going deeper: programmes and resources

  • Whole-staff sessions that support a shared approach to wellbeing and emotional regulation across the school.
  • Structured programmes for schools that want to explore regulation and wellbeing more deeply within learning.
    They help pupils gradually build attention, coping strategies and emotional awareness.

  • Lesson plans that are easy to deliver in class

  • Guided practices pupils can use to pause and settle

  • Reflective journals to help pupils notice their thoughts and feelings

  • Curriculum links to support integration with existing learning

  • Short, guided audio sessions that help pupils pause, settle and return to learning ready.

  • Press and play classroom resources – pupils are guided through a few minutes of breathing, grounding or reflection. The sessions explore themes such as emotional awareness, resilience and self-trust.

  • Staff professional learning – helping adults understand how stress affects attention, behaviour and learning – and how to support regulation in everyday classroom moments.

  • Whole-staff inservice training that support a shared approach to wellbeing and emotional regulation across the school.
