The puppet show was an excellent way to teach young children about resilience. The story allowed students to see that everyone feels overwhelmed at times and there are ways to help overcome this. The characters were bright, colourful and relatable.'Donna, Teacher, Bayside Christian College
Presented by experienced performers Chris and Rob, Puppet Kerfuffle is a dynamic and interactive puppet show that brings the concept of resilience to life for students from Prep to Year 6.
Join Bruce, a furry and lovable monster, and his friend Calvin, a cheerful local shopkeeper, as they navigate everyday challenges in their bustling joke shop. With the help of eight colourful puppet characters, the show explores key themes, including Resilience, Problem-Solving, Managing Emotions, and Building Confidence.
Through songs, stories, and fun-filled games, students witness how Bruce learns to manage setbacks and build resilience. The puppets regularly engage with the audience, inviting students to contribute ideas and help solve on-stage dilemmas, making the experience both educational and memorable.
At the end of the performance, students have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in a behind-the-scenes look at puppetry. Chris and Rob share how puppets are brought to life, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of performance.
This 50-minute show is the perfect blend of entertainment and learning, designed to spark conversation, support student wellbeing, and provide practical tools that can be used in the classroom and beyond.BOOKINGS
