The Julie and Brownie Healthy Choices Show has been designed to enlighten children and confirm the message of how important it is to make healthy choices for themselves. It's done with music, comedy, movement, fun, interaction, and audience participation. With their new show, "Healthy Choices" - Julie and Brownie cover many different topics… the show can be tailored toward any one main topic, such as healthy eating and exercise, diversity, tolerance or safety. With music, comedy, audience participation and visuals, Julie and Brownie are not just advising , but stimulating the children into making their own decisions and choices for themselves… more of an empowerment… and after all they will be the ones who will be making their own choices someday… so if they learn early to do it for themselves… hopefully that message will stay with them for a lifetime. A packet of information will be left with the school that includes game pages and educational material as well. For more information visit:www.juliebrownie.com CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES |
