Rocketoons create healthier, happier kids
who grow into happier, healthier, more successful adults.

Rocketoons are an innovative, effective, and entertaining way to build brand awareness, address corporate social responsibility initiatives, and positively impact the health and well-being of children and families.

But really, what is a Rocketoon?
An episode of Rocketoons is a three-minute cartoon that entertains, educates, and inspires kids and adults. Each Rocketoons episode addresses an issue that causes stress in school-aged children. Topics include: too many activities, social media use, bullying, moving to a new school, truancy, divorce, and more. Rocketoons are structured to spark a conversation, which we call a "Cartoonversation™️".

Rocketoons are free to schools, clubs, organizations, families, and individuals because of our generous sponsors. We are looking for sponsorships across the country to make Rocketoons available for all kids, in all schools. Up front sponsorship costs are lower than than the cost of an average billboard, but last much longer - forever, in fact.  Where else do your sponsorship dollars work as hard and for so long?

Created by a team of experts.

In collaboration with psychologists, educators, and healthcare organizations, Rocketoons initiate Cartoonversations™ that get kids talking about the challenges that impact their day and their health.

Each episode of Rocketoons is supported with a Cartoonversation Card, a one page resource with five Cartoonversation starter questions, five factoids, and five online resources for more information and activities. Each Cartoonversation card was created with deliberate and intentional care by experts to engage and encourage kids to open up about these delicate topics.

We've worked with law enforcement, legal advisors, grief counselors, teachers, and many more to ensure that each episode addresses the key issues of each topic in a way and on a level for kids to enthusiastically engage.

Cartoonversations™️ are conversations started by a cartoon.

• Rocketoons are cartoon-based conversation kits designed for maximum instructional flexibility with minimal interference from time-consuming preparation.
• Rocketoons are pedagogically sound primers for facilitating important discussions in the 21st century classroom.
• Rocketoons offer the opportunity to invest marketing dollars in proven, award-winning content that delivers brand awareness and positive change for kids and families.
  

"Kids are a huge part of our services and programs at Hackley Community Care (HCC), our Teen Health Centers, and school hub sites. Rocketoons is a natural fit for our behavioral health counselors because they make a great conversation starter.
This unique, out-of-the-box concept of Rocketoons, is exactly what HCC is about. Together, we are creating healthy solutions that contribute to healthy students, families and communities."

Click to learn more about the ACEs study from the CDC website.

Rocketoons make healthier kids by helping kids and teachers identify and discuss issues that cause stress, which hinders learning and affects the long term health of students. Common sense tells us how important it is to take care of our kids. A comprehensive study of more than 17,000 kids shows us just how important this priority is.

ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACEs) are common. In a long-term, comprehensive study done by the CDC and Kaiser Permanente, ACEs were found to be a serious public health issue that can have a tremendous impact on lifelong health and opportunity. The good news is, ACEs can be prevented. And Rocketoons address that prevention.

Two thirds of study participants reported at least one ACE in their childhood while one in five reported three or more ACEs. As the number of ACEs increases so does the risk for the following:

---

• Alcoholism and alcohol abuse
  
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
• Depression
• Fetal death
• Health-related quality of life
• Illicit drug use
• Ischemic heart disease

• Liver disease
  
• Poor work performance
• Financial stress
• Risk for intimate partner violence
• Multiple sexual partners
• Sexually transmitted diseases
• Smoking

• Suicide attempts
  
• Unintended pregnancies
• Early initiation of smoking
• Early initiation of sexual activity
• Adolescent pregnancy
• Risk for sexual violence
• Poor academic achievement

Reduce stress for kids and teachers.

Rocketoons are easy to use. They offer structured flexibility to work however the teacher works. Each class is different. Rocketoons allow the teacher to be the expert in his or her own classroom.

Unlike many other tools designed to help students address the stress in their lives, Rocketoons do not require any training or preparation to use.

• No in-service training days
• No complicated reporting
• No materials to store or organize
  
• No big fat binder of instructions, charts, and assessments
  

With Rocketoons you simply login, watch a cartoon, and have a conversation. Rocketoons help kids open up about difficult topics and when the adult in the room hears something troubling they take the normal, necessary steps to put that student on the path to getting support and help.

STEPS TO USE ROCKETOONS
1. Log in to Rocketoons.com.
2. Watch a cartoon.
3. Talk about the cartoon you watched.

Optional resources help get the conversation started, and provide more brand awareness.

To make it easier to get the conversation started, each Rocketoons episode comes with a one-page Story Card and one-page Cartoonversation™ Card. The Story Card gives a summary of the episode and background information about the characters.

The Cartoonversation Card lists five conversation starters, five factoids, and five website resources to supplement the cartoon's message, and to stimulate healthy conversations.

Cartoonversation Cards are an extra resource to help get things started or to offer direction if the kids want to dig deeper into the topic. The Cartoonversation Card is optional. Use it. Don't use it. Whatever works for you.

Cartoonversation Cards are branded with sponsor logo and information for maximum awareness.

Testimonial:
How I use Rocketoons

"We had a 'mean girl' incident on the playground with a few fourth grade girls. For second recess they stayed in and watch Rocketoons Episode 3: Bullying. We made them sit together, watch the cartoon, answer some of the questions on the Cartoonversation card. After giggling at the cartoon, then facing off with each other, it was pretty amazing what came up and how they worked it out."
      Mrs. Krukowski
      4th grade teacher

Helping teachers, too.

Rocketoons are aligned with the Common Core State Standards, which means students learn what they are supposed to learn, and caregivers learn about the kids and the challenges they face outside of the classroom.
To make it even easier for educators to document how Rocketoons meet Common Core Standards we've had curriculum directors create a comprehensive list, available for download on the Rocketoons website.
