Topic and Rationale
"Why do teachers and parents give us so many rules?" Children have
asked this question for years. The topic of this assembly program delves into
some basic listening and safety skills. Teachers and parents have listening
and safety rules for children so they can play and work in a safe environment
weather it's at school or home. Simple participatory songs and games enliven
the program and help students learn these important concepts.
Target Audience
For Students of Grades K-5
Outcomes
Students will take an active role in the assembly program through participation.
Through songs and activities, they will learn to tune in and focus on basic
listening and safety rules and skills.
Description
"Camp Muckalucka" is a wonderful musical program where students
and their teachers participate together in a fun-filled imaginary day at summer
camp with T-BONE, their camp counselor. From the first blast of the wake-up
bugle through activities such as swimming, storytime, name that tune, the
beach ball game the campfire sing-a-long to lights out, the students will
learn valuable listening, safety concepts while having a ball through hands-on
participation. This is an assembly program they won't soon forget!
