The
Adventures Of Goombay
Have you seen the movie Finding
Nemo? If you have, you understand the magic of marine life. The
mysteries of the Ocean attract people like honey attracts bees.
If you haven’t
seen the movie, you should! Why? Because characters like Nemo have
made marine life into stars. They have taken the fear out of the
sea and put in it’s place a fascination with the wildlife
that live in it.
Nemo also inspired the character development and scripts for the
newest members of the Ocean Puppet Pals.
Meet Goombay, a dolphin
who wants to get out in the world and see more than just the Bahamas.
Sharing the name of one of our real dolphins, Goombay learns about
new animals, their special characteristics, and some of the challenges
of survival they face in ocean habitats around the world. The
Adventures of Goombay is just one of the plays that can be put
on for students from Kindergarten through to Grade 2. We’ve
even modified it to cater to our youngest fans… the pre-schoolers!
Without giving the ending away, we invite you to sign-up for this
fantastic program. The laughter, singing and even the marine activities
will make it the highlight of your students’ week... and
maybe even yours!
The
Power of Puppets
Puppets have always been an important teaching tool at Dolphin Encounters.
But on request of teachers, we took them one step further! We have
built a special traveling puppet theater and acquired a tremendous
collection of marine characters we now call the Ocean Puppet Pals.
And why? Because according to teachers, puppets have a lot more power
to them then you might think. Puppets allow adults to talk to young
kids about tough issues like emotions and how to express emotions
in a positive way. Puppets are creative and inspire kids to drop
their apprehension and sing and dance, even with other kids around.
Finally, puppets spark imagination, causing kids to come up with
their own new stories. So there you have it: never underestimate
the power of puppets!
