Creative KidTalk: Practical Advice on Entertaining Children by David Ginn, Steve Taylor and Samuel Patrick Smith - Book
In 144 pages you’ll find ten chapters of practical advice based on the experience of three fulltime kidshow pros–David Ginn, Sammy Smith, and Steve Taylor–all aimed at helping you become the best children’s entertainer possible!
1. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION–the core of children’s show because secretly every kid wants to get up and help.
2. TREATING AUDIENCE HELPERS WITH RESPECT–having fun on stage without embarrassing any volunteer.
3. SUCKER TRICKS FOR KIDS–letting them get you “up a tree” and how to get down without hurting the show.
4. ENTERTAINING PRE-SCHOOLERS–without fire or chopper tricks, you can have the 3- to 6-year-olds loving you!
5. WORKING OUTDOOR FAMILY SHOWS–what to do when it starts to rain, what tricks work best, how to be prepared.
6. ADULT VOLUNTEERS IN KID SHOWS–kids love to see teachers and even parents helping on stage. Here’s how to make that work to your advantage.
7. MIXING MESSAGES WITH MAGIC–add education without becoming boring; in fact, make the messages fun!
8. NEW TWISTS ON OLD TRICKS–dust off that prop you bought ten years ago and use it today in a different way!
9. ENTERTAINING ADULTS AT KID SHOWS–you’re doing the show to entertain the children, but the adults write your paycheck. Can you please both? Here’s how!
10. FINAL WORDS AND STORIES–encouragement, influence, and inspiration, and how they can make you a better performer.
