Big Grin’s House Party
Big Grin’s House Party is an innovative, interactive multi-platform project that includes TV/video series and games that will entertain, engage, empower and educate pre-schoolers.
The series is hosted by an animated DJ, Big Grin the Crocodile, and features real kids and guests, as well as a cast of wonderful animated characters. Every day is a party at Big Grin’s house!
Rainbow Fiesta
Each of these segments explores the wonders of diversity from a child’s perspective and teaches languages and culture in an interactive, dynamic way.
Meet Me – Each 2 minute episode we meet an animated child from a different culture and hear their story with a focus on celebrations like birthdays.
Sophie Says games – 2 minutes – learn languages (e.g. French, Spanish, Mandarin) imitating Sophie and her animated guest, then play the interactive game (like Simon Says)
BopStars – Big Grin plays a new age-appropriate song from a different culture/genre each episode. Party guests and the audience learn a fun international dance routine from a guest teacher (see demo of Reggae) for 3 minutes followed by a whacky 2 minute music video to dance, laugh and sing along to. Sample songs include: Keep It Moving- hip hop, Head & Shoulders- street jazz, Yo Quiero- salsa, Reggaemania, Disco Fever, Mamae Eu Quiero- samba; Mandarin- ribbon dancing.
