Character Construction

This world is in need of people with strong character. People who can hammer out differences and drill down to the core of a problem. People who can do the heavy lifting of being honest and trustworthy. If we want to build a better world, then this next generation needs to be equipped with the tools to do that. Its going to take women and men of character. And that's what this program is about.

Character Construction is a unique and high energy show for school assemblies. It brings a positive message that highlights the 6 key character traits. Trust, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship while assisting every student in defining these six character traits for themselves. Using magic and some ventriloquism combined with plenty of audience interaction and participation, students actually get involved in the program. Some are invited to help out directly -- others help right from their seats. Scott asks questions throughout the program to ensure students are actively listening and thinking about the information being presented.

Kids love construction, and they love magic. They love having fun. But the Character Construction school assembly program merges all of this and infuses learning into the fun. The result is a fantastic, high-impact show for elementary students that not only captures their attention, but leaves them with a fresh understanding of what having great character means.

Clue Into Your World

Looking to get your students excited about reading? Here's a program that does that and helps kids learn about geography.

Everyone loves a mystery. This educational show for kids will keep them captivated from start to finish. The show starts with the mysterious disappearance of some magic tricks.The only clue -- they've been hidden somewhere in the world. And that's a big place! With that premise, Inspector Great Scott from the MBI (Magical Bureau of Investigation) will enlist the help and critical thinking skills of students in this magical mystery tour of the world. This program promotes reading and library use as it reinforces key elements in your school's geography curriculum. Maps, various countries, types of terrain, national symbols, history-- all taught using magic, music, and ventriloquism.

A fun-loving dog (puppet) named Chauncey will delight students with his antics. The children will also remember "meeting" Abraham Lincoln (in a very unusual and funny manner) and learning some interesting facts about his life. They'll leave, knowing more about the role of geography and history. Plus, they'll have a better understanding of where to go for more information -- the library.

All of this combines to make an educationally significant program that children will both enjoy and learn from.
