Looking for a fun and educational program that teaches children about what it means to be a hero? Look no further than Heroes Around the World! Combining magic and puppets, this show will entertain and engage children while also teaching them important values such as responsibility, citizenship, fairness, trustworthiness, caring, and respect.
Through fast-paced magic, puppetry, and storytelling, children will be so engrossed in the show that they won’t even realize they are learning. And when they leave, they will have the skills they need to be heroes themselves!
Audience participation is a significant part of this performance, and the program was designed to support the Character Counts curriculum. Lesson plans and resources are available on the charactercounts.org website, making it easy for educators to incorporate this program into their teaching.
In addition to learning about important values, children will also learn how to use the Dewey Decimal System and be encouraged to learn more about different cultures. The show promotes several books, including “Seeds of Change”, “The Jungle Book”, “The Legend of the Bluebonnet”, “Charlotte’s Web, “Too Many Mangos”, and “Mulan”.
Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity to teach children about what it means to be a hero. Book Heroes Around the World today and watch as your students become inspired to be heroes in their own lives!
