Play School is in session

Toyrific: Play School is a favourite.

It’s the school all kids love and its playing at South Barwon Civic Centre to night.
Australia’s favourite and beloved children’s television program, Play School, is in Geelong with a brand new show Once Upon A Time as part of a national tour.
Classic nursery rhyme characters magically come to life as the pages of the storybook are turned in this exciting new production.
Jemima, Big Ted, Little Ted and Humpty travel through an enchanting adventure filled with stories, songs and dance.
As with all of Play School’s concerts, Once Upon A Time is hosted by two Play School presenters, along with the real stars of the show: the toys.
Presenter Alex Papps said he hoped he was still presenting Playschool when he’s 70.
“I still pinch myself – I feel very lucky, Papps says.
“I grew up with Play School and always gravitated towards Humpty. There’s just something about his positive outlook in the face of being less than graceful.”
Everything in the live concert is carefully created with pre-school children’s development in mind. The songs are designed to inspire movement, complimented by quiet times to encourage children to watch and listen.
Play School is Australia’s longest running children’s television program. The show’s transition from behind the television to live on stage is designed to entertain, educate and enliven pre-schoolers and parents alike.
Play School is broadcast 7 days a week, 4 times daily on weekdays and twice daily on weekends, on ABC4Kids. Once Upon A Time, the companion album is also available.
