Eddie’s Litterless Road Tour
Attention P-3 Teachers Across the Province!
Still finding litter on your school grounds? Need a little help to remind kids that the Earth is not a garbage can? Well get out your calendars because Eddie is coming to town! Book your stop on Eddie’s Litterless Road Tour presented by Clean Nova Scotia.
Note: Bookings for Eddie’s Litterless Road Tour have begun and priority will be given to students who have NOT seen the show in the past.
Eddie is a loveable cat (puppet) with a cause that is standing up for all the “critters” in the world that have to live with the garbage we humans throw around. Through humour, rhymes and song, kids will learn to keep their neighbourhoods clean. Teachers will be left with a special curriculum based Teacher’s Guide that can be used at a later date, a souvenir poster to help remind kids never to litter, and a brand new CD featuring the songs from the show as well as some more follow-up material for the kids. Each child will receive a full colour Litter-Prevention Guide to take home.
Presentations are available for grades primary to three. Mixed grades are welcome. It is preferable that no more than three classes combined make up an audience for one presentation. A maximum of three presentations can be delivered in a day with breaks in between. Presentations are available in English only. A French language Teacher’s Guide is now available upon request.
The presenter will need space big enough for a 4 foot long table with room enough to move behind the table. A library, classroom or music room are preferable. Large gymnasiums are NOT an option as they tend to have poor sound quality. Kids sit on the floor in front of the presenter.
The presentation can take anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. Teachers MUST stay with the class during the presentation due to the delicate nature of the puppets and are encouraged to sing along!
Teachers will be asked to fill out a short survey during the presentation to help us expand upon this successful program.
Presentations outside of HRM will be scheduled with fuel economy and road conditions in mind.
