Play with Me Sesame, a half-hour interactive series, brings children on a playdate with some of their favorite Sesame Street characters: Bert, Ernie, Grover and Prairie Dawn. Each episode mixes classic Sesame Street footage with newly created games and activities where the Muppets invite children to join in. Play With Me Sesame extends Sesame Street’s time-tested educational mission through opportunities for active learning. The participatory design encourages preschoolers to express themselves creatively, while the games and activities support such cornerstone cognitive concepts as same and different. As an interactive experience, the program helps children cultivate skills and attitudes needed to succeed in the social environment of school.

Noggin's PLAY WITH ME SESAME provides preschoolers with opportunities for active learning, on air and online, based on Sesame Street content. As an interactive initiative, PLAY WITH ME SESAME focuses on three primary learning goals:

• To help preschoolers understand the fundamental concepts of similarity and difference.
• To encourage and help enable preschoolers to engage in interactive play with other children.
• To support creativity and individual expression
