Kangaroo Kids Concert

Around the World in 80 Minutes was presented by the Kangaroo kids with nearly 400 children participating in the spectacular event. The show was presented by the performers of Kangaroo Kids on Thursday May 9, 2002 at B.M. Birla Auditorium. The children in common kinship took the entire audience through countries and continents giving a glimpse of the culture, dress and style of people of diverse nationalities. It was an enthralling performance by the little Kangaroo Kids. They took a spellbound audience “Around the World in 80 Minutes” — a performance that even Jules Verne would be proud of!

From the fun filled beaches of Ibiza one was transported to France, Spain and the melody of Halleluiah. Dancing and prancing the kids reminded all those present in the auditorium that it’s a small world after all. Australia was their next stop over and one saw the Koalas, Kangaroos and marine life at close quarters. In Africa, a safari tribal dances Jingo and Mataeoo gave a vivid portrayal of the immense cultural diversity of this sub-continent. Cascading through the audience Pranav Nagar charmed one and all with the presentation of “Born in the USA” and Matlida was another highlight of the evening. Moving east ward, one saw the oriental world of China, Japan and finally the beauty and profound vastness of the Indian subcontinent. This spectacular show left the audience spell bound.

The Farm Day

Kangaroo Kids celebrated Farm Day from October 31st to November 2nd for children less than seven years. This unique project, first of its kind in the state was introduced to acquaint the children with livestock commonly seen at a farm.

From Livestock to puppetry and from story time to computers, the Farm day was an event that took children close to the animal world.
