Character Building Program
BEE YOUR BEST! -- Buzzing into schools in 2008/2009.
Designed for K-5
Character Building and Bees, that's an unlikely combination. But kids are fascinated by bees, and having great character is important. So...we've put them together into a great new program for children. Imagine an Educational Variety Show at Your School!

The program is 45 minutes of educational and inspirational entertainment
incorporating Scott's unique blend of magic tricks, humor,
storytelling, games, ventriloquism and just plain fun. All
this is designed to capture the children's imaginations
and get them ready to learn some ideas about building Character.
We can learn a lot from the insect world. And quite a bit of their world and habits can be applied to ours. This program does that as it focuses on READING and CHARACTER development. Children are invited to get involved and learn the value of having great personal character. Along the way they will see magic, play games, talk to a bee, discover interesting facts about "beeing" their best and learn about some wonderful books.
What Key Points Are Emphasized?
To Be Your Best you need to understand and exhibit these great character traits:
 Caring
Cooperation
Fairness
Respect
Responsibility
Trust
Plus we'll look at some fun books about bees and talk about their social structure.

"There were MANY positive comments after the show. Kids told me they had a good time, and parents said they thought it was great. One mom, ... was laughing so hard after the show that she could hardly speak, but she finally was able to say that she and her children had enjoyed the show immensely."
Ann Piehl -- Whitefish Bay Library

Humor is a great tool for teaching. And that lesson is not lost in this show. Kids will laugh at the silly antics and be amazed by the wonderful magic. Helping with this, Jerry the bee (a fun-loving puppet) will buzz in and make his appearance.
In the end, the children will:
Learn some things about their library
Know some interesting facts about bees
Realize the importance of developing great character |
"We ... really enjoyed your performance. You worked with the children at their level and provided material which was interesting and fun for them, along with having a message. They were in awe of your magic and were engaged the entire time. That doesn't always happen when we have performers working with our 320 three, four and five year old students. We'll definitely plan on having you back! Thank you so much! "
--Starms Early Childhood Center (Milwaukee Public School)

The kids LOVED the show! Thanks so much! In case you were wondering, that was an AMAZING turnout..."

| We recently had the pleasure of experiencing Scott Obermann's assembly program titled "Clue Into Your World." Scott was very entertaining while educating students about geography, libraries, books, maps, flags, and countries. I've never seen our sixth graders so focused on a "magical" presenter before! From the Abraham Lincoln portrait to audience participation, our K-6 students were glued to the program! Scott responded very well to students' reactions and answers to his questions.
Teachers and students commmented about the high quality of show that was presented!
I highly recommend Scott Obermann!
Sincerely,

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.
"...people were praising you as they left. They thought it was a humorous program, and that you worked well with the children . . . Also, you are easy to work with. You’re friendly and personable, yet professional. It’s a nice combination."
--Sara Soukup, Lake Geneva Public Library

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.

"We really appreciate how you integrated the use of libraries and books into the program. So many performers say they have a program that features libraries...when what they really mean is they slipped a few words into a standardized program. You made libraries, books and research the central feature of your presentation. Fantastic!

Christian School Chapel Programs
| Kids learn best when they're enjoying the message being presented to them. In this program, Scott uses his illusion and ventriloquism skills to provide a fun and amazing show for the children. However, solid bible-based messages are woven throughout the tapestry of the show as well. The end result is a program that illustrates the truths of the Bible in a way that captivates children. |

Scott's mastery of illusion was evident, and he wowed our students with his wit, illusion skills and personality! Frankly put, our students LOVED him! He had a keen ability to weave Christian principles in his performance and kept the students glued throughout the entire production. As a 15 year administrator, I would rank Scott as one of the Best! People of all ages will enjoy the "gift of amazing talent" that he brings. You will NOT be disappointed!
If you are searching for something fun, unique, and exciting for your students and from a biblical worldview to boot, then this is it! We have already asked Scott to return next year. Our students will, I'm certain, look at his production as a highlight of our chapels each year.
