A larger-than-life, funny and participatory drama show — created and performed by your pupils in a single school day.
Comedy, costumes, puppets, music, movement and some gloriously daft contestants help important online-safety messages stick.
The Puppet family are the unsuspecting contestants in a game show where playing well means you might win… absolutely nothing!
Pupils perform the scenes and help the family discover how to look after their personal information, recognise strangers online and make safer choices.
No two school performances are quite the same.
From the Puppet family to dolphins, chickens, disco queens and dancing brains: each scene makes a serious message memorable.
“Because remember, if you don’t, somebody else will.”
The Puppet family discover what can happen when personal information, passwords or private pictures are shared too freely. The audience helps them decide what should remain private.
“People you don’t know are strangers. They are not always who they say.”
A dolphin hopes to find other dolphins online — but could be talking to absolutely anyone, even a shark. Then the contestants try to work out who is really behind an online message: a child, an adult, a chicken, Elvis or disco queens?
“Making things up, research and trust.”
The Jokers, Perfect Masks and Trusting Masks explore teasing, how we present ourselves online, and why we should check information rather than believe everything we see.
“Stay cool — breathe… and again… and again.”
Arguments escalate remarkably quickly. The resident Relaxologists bring things back under control with three memorable steps: Wait, Think, Review.
“We are all different people who enjoy different things, and we must look after each other!”
Meet the dancing disco brains and discover why devices, notifications and likes can be so hard to put down — and why taking breaks and doing things away from screens matters.
Our SPLATS teacher leads the day as game-show host, bringing props, costume pieces and sound effects. Pupils learn scenes in groups and come together to perform the complete show.
Up to four groups rehearse an episode through physical theatre, movement, comedy and scripted acting.
Children act as performers and as the audience, answering questions, reacting and giving advice.
The groups assemble the show for one another and an invited audience, all in one school day.
These are the moments that make the show work: children creating characters, performing together and sharing the laughter.
