For NJ Clean Communities coordinators and schools participating in the Clean Communities program:
This special version of the show includes songs and stories specifically tailored to an anti-littering theme, which fit within its broader ecological focus. Songs such as 'Michael Recycles' and 'Litterbug' are featured, and kids are encouraged to feel proud of their own local environment - natural, and otherwise.
The Day The School Went Wild is a participatory assembly concert, subtitled:
‘Wild’ Songs & ‘Natural’ Stories.
This is the same concert as
‘The Day The Library Went Wild’.
We name it differently for each different place. Substitute the word ‘School’ with ‘Library’, ‘Town’, or ‘Camp’.
‘The Day The Library Went Wild’.
We name it differently for each different place. Substitute the word ‘School’ with ‘Library’, ‘Town’, or ‘Camp’.
The show has has an ecological focus; rainforests, recycling, dolphins, hibernating, frogs, snakes, mountains, lakes, and the ‘wild’ human being in all of us. It can easily stand alone as an assembly concert, or be integrated into a ‘wild’ day of interactive activities at the school.
Kids sing along, guess along, and use hand and body movements to stay engaged. The show is tailored for different age levels, and is just as appropriate for 5th and 6th graders is it is for 1st and 2nd!
We send teachers’ guides, CDs, and lyric sheets, so kids can learn the songs in advance, and we also send posters, photos, and a sample press release.
Outdoor, hands-on, alternative energy demonstrations with Jay’s vegetable oil-powered van. The ‘Veggie Voyager’ go very well before or after the show.
As with all our shows, we provide a beautiful backdrop to set the scene,
as well as our own powerful, state–of-the-art sound system.
This is Jay's longest running and most popular concert for children.
