Unleash curiosity and imagination with The Cat in the Hat
To celebrate the Cat bounding into cinemas on December 4, we’ve collaborated with Warner Bros. Pictures on a rollicking resource for learners aged 6+. Curious Consequences is inspired by the Cat’s mischief and magic, and the whimsical world of Dr. Seuss.
Activities encourage imaginative play and make curriculum links to English/Literacy and Science. Download the resource to nurture creativity, curiosity and communication in your classroom.
Teach rhyme and reason through guided play
In this animated adventure, the Cat in the Hat injects joy and a little mayhem into the new home of young siblings Gabby and Sebastian. Known for taking things too far and overlooking potential consequences, the Cat is ruled by humour, hilarity and excitable spontaneity. Share the infectious fun and unlock imaginations by immersing your learners in this colourful, fantastical world. The resource includes printed packs containing cut-out wearable hats, and activities that chart a calm course through chaos.
By engaging with the unexpected outcomes of the Cat's mischief,Curious Consequences highlights the importance of curiosity and asking questions, helping pupils understand the concept of cause and effect.
Learners will develop their written and verbal communication skills through storytelling and poetry exercises inspired by the Cat's use of rhyme. Playful percussive activities take their cue from the rhythmic communication of the iconic Things, supporting non-verbal communication.
Complementary printed packs, including exclusive The Cat in the Hat materials, are available to the first 400 schools to sign up. Each pack contains:
- 30 x cut-out Hats
- 140 x Helpful Hat competition sheets
- Class set of stickers
- 1 x The Cat in the Hat poster

About The Cat in the Hat
Meet the Cat in the Hat you don’t know! In the wonderfully whimsical tradition of Dr. Seuss, the Cat in the Hat comes to the big screen in his animated theatrical feature film debut, an all-new, epic adventure with an edge, where mischief, magic and mayhem reign supreme. Doing what he does best, the Cat — voiced by Bill Hader — spreads joy to kids in his hilarious, signature and singularly irreverent way, transporting them and audiences on a fantastical journey through a world they’ve never seen before.
In the film, our hero takes on his toughest assignment yet for the I.I.I.I. (Institute for the Institution of Imagination and Inspiration, LLC): to cheer Gabby and Sebastian, a pair of siblings struggling with their move to a new town. Known for taking things too far, this could be this agent of chaos’s last chance to prove himself...or lose his magical hat!
Starring alongside Hader are Matt Berry, Quinta Brunson, Xochitl Gomez, with Giancarlo Esposito, and America Ferrera. Tituss Burgess, Bowen Yang, Paula Pell and Tiago Martinez also star.
The Cat in the Hat is directed by Erica Rivinoja and Alessandro Carloni from their own screenplay, screen story by Caroline Williams, based on the book by Dr. Seuss. It is produced by Daniela Mazzucato and Jared Stern. The executive producers are Bill Hader, Susan Brandt, Bill Damaschke, Kelly Marcel and Steve Zissis, Tim Story and Alex Timbers. It is edited by Dan Molina, with music by Lorne Balfe.
