What can this Kidd do for me? (performance/keynote information)
Let’s say we were going to bring in Kevin Kidd to perform for our children – what should we expect?
Kevin’s performances are appropriate for children from 3 years old to 3rd or 4th grade. Children younger than 3 enjoy the music but may be a little young to enjoy the entire performance. Shows are filled with music, storytelling, movement, and interaction.
Typically Kevin will choose one theme on which to base his performance and the dialog and costume will center around that day’s topic.
After a few “get to know you” songs, Kevin will introduce his friend Imaginary Larry. Larry always finds himself in a situation that relates to the theme. So Kevin and the children will discuss how to best deal with the problem and then sing a song on the topic.
Moving away from the theme they will sing something a little crazy only to come back and address the day’s subject again a time or two before the performance ends.
At the close of the show, the children will have, learned a song about the theme, discussed appropriate behavior, sang some silly songs, and bounced like a kangaroo.

Performance themes:

Cowpokes Don’t Poke Fun at Each Other This ranch is a great place to learn how to best use our words. You might want to wear your cowboy stuff
Set Sail for O Bay Learning obedience is fun in this island- flavored performance. Break out the flowerdy shirts, for a parents night?
Throw Out the Pout Wear your jerseys & baseball caps for this trip to the ballpark. We’re going to talk about pouting & disappointment
I Love America A patriotic tribute to our American heritage complete with some lucky children getting to help out in costume
Magic Words - Fun with manners
Truth Fairy - It’s never to early to learn about honesty
Wait Your Turn - A great theme to help start the year off right
Share, Share, Share - Great for the holidays
