The Kids on the Block, internationally acclaimed for its educational puppet shows, has developed over 40 different programs addressing various disabilities, educational and medical differences and social concerns. Each topic is thoroughly researched and field-tested before it becomes available to schools, community service organizations, hospitals and special interest groups. A complete curriculum accompanies each topic area including scripts, answers to questions children ask, background information on the topic, character biographies, resource materials, follow-up information, and continued support from the KOB National Office.
Viewing a Kids on the Block performance is an unforgettable educational experience. The “kids” (puppets) vividly and effectively model relationships between people, both with and without disabilities, by using frank and often humorous communication of facts and feeling between the puppet characters and the audience.
The Kids on the Block puppet show gave two presentations on October 8, 2009 at both Gillis School in Tyndall and Beausejour Early Years School in Beausejour. The presentations were very well received.
