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.
The Road Safety Day
The teachers of Kangaroo Kids dressed up as Traffic Policemen and
Inspectors showed the children how traffic rules must be obeyed and
strictly followed.
The Puppet Show
The wild animals of the jungle came alive. The teachers of Kangaroo
Kids decided to tell the children stories of a baby elephant who
lost his mom and dad and how Zelda the Zebra, found the beautiful
black and white stripes.
