SKIDOS and Rovio Reimagine Angry Birds to Help Young Kids Learn Emotions
SKIDOS, one of the leading platforms for inclusive gamified learning, announced in June an exclusive partnership with Rovio, the creators of the globally beloved Angry Birds franchise. In a deal brokered by IMG Licensing, the two companies are launching a new suite of educational mini-games designed to spark emotional intelligence and inspire creative expression in children aged 4–7.
Now available on the SKIDOS platform, the new Angry Birds-themed learning games bring Red, Chuck, Bomb, and the rest of the flock into an engaging educational experience that helps young children explore five core emotions: anger, sadness, surprise, happiness, and fear. Through interactive activities like aligning catapults, tapping objects, and solving story-based puzzles, the games promote logical thinking and emotional awareness. Key features such as the Color Blast Island for creative expression ensure a balanced blend of imagination, action, and learning.
Each game has been thoughtfully designed with accessibility in mind, integrating voice-over support, simplified navigation, sensory-friendly visuals, and intuitive touch controls to engage neurodiverse learners, including those with ADHD, ASD, and dyslexia.
“At SKIDOS, our mission has always been to make screen time developmentally rich,” said Aditya Prakash, Founder and CEO of SKIDOS. “This collaboration with Rovio indicates our commitment to designing content that supports the whole child, academically, socially, and emotionally. Angry Birds brings a level of universal appeal and familiarity that makes this new learning journey exciting for children and reassuring for parents. We’re happy to offer a fun, inclusive learning experience that adapts to how each child learns and grows.”
“We’re excited to see Angry Birds take on the role of educational companions,” said Katri Chacona, Head of Brand Licensing at Rovio. “This partnership with SKIDOS brings together our characters’ humour and energy with a purposeful, inclusive learning environment. It’s a fresh way to introduce younger audiences to the Angry Birds world while supporting emotional and cognitive development.”
The Angry Birds learning games are now available globally via the SKIDOS app and platform.
