These sweet and fun videos are inspired by the classic unpredictable interviews over the years between a Sesame Street character and children. A new game will also be available on plazasesamo.com called Guess Who's Laughing?, where players can choose from three levels of four, six, or even eight laughs, and practice their listening skills to match all the laughs they hear; in addition to social media materials where the fun never ends. Sesame Street aims to position laughter and humor as a powerful tool to promote joy, strengthen family bonds, and enhance emotional well-being.  “With its unique blend of laughter and learning, Sesame Street creates experiences that enrich minds and open hearts around the world. At a time when children need joy more than ever, the ‘Giving Smiles’ campaign will support their emotional well-being with a healthy dose of humor. Whether they are learning about healthy habits, socio-emotional skills, or the alphabet, humor can transform a simple moment into an unforgettable lesson,” said Samantha Maltin, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing and Brand Officer.
