Programs, Shows and Themes

1.2.3. – ABC. Back to School – It's about time for school to start over again. Let's get our minds ready to learn. We have fun with puppets that represent the primary colors and sing songs about why they are the color that they are. The kids learn to open their ears and listen to what a crayon has to sings about colors and shapes. A magic coloring book is a lot of fun, but do the children really know how to make the color appear? The kids get to learn the ABC song but with a disco beat, and the puppet "0l' Alligator" loves to count!

50's Rock 'n Roll – Let's go back … to our parents, their parents, and more to hear songs from the 50's performed by our special puppets, see some fun magic tricks, have a bubble gum contest and more. Elvis (impersonator puppet of course, Elvis has left the building) will join us for a song also.

We will need a good ol’ country band to play a song and more kids to act the country song out. Since we are having such a great time on the farm how about some magical homemade carrot cake ice cream?

The entertainer comes dressed as a grandmother (Bertha or Mertha), and tell a poem, story, and fun magic tricks as well. She also tells of her grandparents who were special to her. Bertha or Mertha try to play the fiddle, harmonica, and catch big fish like her grandpa did. Grandparents are full of heart and are proud to be a part of you!

Hawaii to Texas – Texas is far from Hawaii, but we can all have the fun right here in our big state! The kids get to learn about what is well known in Hawaii – such as lei. What kind of problem there would be without the lei on a string! The girls have fun learning a dance, and the boys make a great band. We all learn the Limbo game and we have fun playing a trick on one of the teachers as well.

Christmas is not Christmas without a little story to be told or without the popular song, “Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer.” (Upon your request, the entertainer will be a funny elf or Mrs. Claus)

Hoo-Booville – Jolly or Golly are dressed up as friendly Scarecrows and come to have some fun with all of the kids. She will make that big green monster disappear with a little touch of magic. The children have a blast with the friendly marionette puppets (spider, ghost, skeleton, and scarecrow) who dance to fun songs. Safety issues are addressed while dressing up two of the kids as characters and they learn what to do and what not to do when they go to Fall festivals or trick-or-treating.

You Are Special/You Can Do It! – The puppet, Ticklish Ruben, loves to be silly! He sings songs about what he would like to be when he grows up, and he likes to play tricks on the kids as well. The little kids get to hold up big smiley faces while a song is played relating to the happy smiles we all should have. Each one of us is somebody special and we can do anything if we put our mind to it! We get a band to play wearing all kinds of different hats to represent that everyone is unique. A little bit of magic can give us a big smile, not a frown.
