A New Way to Teach
Build Character from the Inside Out
Your students face real challenges every day. They need more than rules or behavior tracking—they need activities that build real character strengths like kindness, self-control, and conflict resolution.
They practice decision-making, not just learn about it.
No planning required. Everything is done for you.
Through Benny's adventures, students learn to:
Understand and manage emotions
Recognize feelings, calm down when upset, learn that mistakes are part of learning
Show kindness and empathy
Care for others, see different perspectives, support each other through hard moments
Resolve conflicts and push through challenges
Talk it out, find fair solutions, build the confidence to try new things
Make responsible choices with courage
Think before acting, own the consequences, face challenges that help them grow stronger
"Be the Buffalo" — Just like buffalo face storms head-on together, your students learn to face life's challenges with courage, supporting each other along the way.

Why Teachers Choose Us
What Makes Be The Buffalo Different
We solved the problems other SEL programs ignore.
The Problem
Most SEL programs require student accounts and collect student data
Our Solution
Zero student accounts. One teacher login controls everything. Project to your screen—that's it.
The Problem
Other curricula need translators or separate Spanish materials
Our Solution
One-click toggle switches everything—activities, songs, printables—instantly. Built for dual-language classrooms.
The Problem
Typical SEL is "activity of the week" with no connected system
Our Solution
40 weeks fully planned. Each week links projector activities, printables, songs, and discussion prompts together.
The Problem
Safety training is a separate program you have to buy
Our Solution
Emergency response, fire drills, tornado, earthquake, bus safety, first aid, and allergies—all built in with songs kids remember.
The Problem
SEL and literacy are taught in separate silos
Our Solution
Story read-alouds, character feelings worksheets, and text-based discussions integrate SEL with your ELA standards.
