KIDS MAKING BETTER CHOICES

Kids enjoyed it but were not overly enthusiastic. It's not the kind of show that they would watch over and over. They loved the magician because "he is funny and does crazy stuff." They got the message - better eating and exercise choices every day. They enjoyed the music. Many were still dancing to the music after it was over. Favorite part: "I learned to make better choices."

Cute and funny. Clearly an educational piece and most kids probably wouldn't want to watch it at home. It would make a good accompaniment to a school health or PE program. Maybe some school nutritionists would watch it as well. The magician host, Steve Trash, has a funny and engaging personality. This DVD uses a specific model for decision making. Steve gives kids two choices and asks which is the better one. It's repetitive in that way but it works. Steve does some tricks that kids shouldn't but it's pretty obvious for the intended age group. Many kids will relate to him because of his profession. The tips are clear and easy to follow and promote a balanced life. For instance, should you walk your dog for 1/2 hour and play 1/2 hour video or play a 1 hour video game. This keeps it real and realistic allowing kids to make better choices without giving up everything they like to do. The social interactions are really between Steve and the viewer. He invites interaction from the viewer throughout the show. Over all, it's cute, educational and promotes making healthy decision about food, exercise and lifestyle.

Fun, funny, and magical tips designed to help kids make better eating and exercise choices and inspire them to become the best they can be. World Famous Magician - Steve Trash - illustrates these tips through magic tricks and slapstick humor.
