Performance of a Puppet Show:
With humour that can be enjoyed by toddlers to primary school kids, with plenty of laughs for the staff and teachers to enjoy too, this is a one of the fun vacation care activities on offer – A 30 minute puppet show of songs, games, jokes, skits and comical interaction with the audience. The style of puppetry is a bit like The Muppets and Sesame Street. The show is followed by an additional 5 minute presentation where Brett demonstrates to the audience how all the puppets work (including a bit of audience participation). Then there’s a 5-10 minute meet-and-greet were the kids can get their photo taken with Troggg the blue monster. In total it’s about a 45 minute performance.
Educational content – such as sharing, anti-bullying and healthy eating – can also be requested in your booking enquiry.
