Our 20 minute presentation for elementary students promotes safety awareness, and gives kids the skills they need to stay safe. This presentation brings safety concepts to life in a highly captivating, theatrical performance.
This original script utilizes animals,
(Maurice the Cat and Stella Jay, the bird),
to teach 2nd through 6th graders basic
strategies for staying safe.
Maurice the Cat
Stella Jay the Bird
Maurice, the wily and elegant cat uses every trick he knows to capture Stella Jay but a little voice deep inside her warns her to be careful. She has heard her mother tell her many times.
“When you don’t know what to do, fly away”.
This important lesson, repeated over and over in this rhyming sweet tale teaches young children the skills they need to stay safe.
Here's what others are saying.....
“The performance had such an important message that all young kids should know! Asking the kids if they know important contact information hit home immediately! The performance was engaging and eye-catching, even for adults! I would encourage other after school care programs as well as elementary school to make time for this presentation. It was short and sweet and sent home a great message!”
Ashely Gay, Lafayette Prime Time PRYDE Program
"We thought the performance was great! It was very interactive, kept the students engaged, and was on the students' comprehension level. Some staff mentioned that the costumes were pleasing and not too distracting. Another staff liked the presentation of such a strong and dark message, portrayed in a colorful and child friendly way."
Adam Armas, Carson Prime Time Program
