Terrified that he will fail at his first royal duties, Arthur turns to his teacher and mentor for help.

Karen joined Wayne to expand the scope of The Ocean Adventure and present the female perspective to underwater exploration and discovery. Description of program: The program begins with an introduction to sharks in general and Great White Sharks in particular. Students are chosen from the audience to demonstrate how sharks are adapted to their environment. Specimens and models are used to help demonstrate how sharks are different from bony fish and how sharks find their food using their seven senses. With the gigantic jaws from a 20 foot long Great White Shark, your students see how sharks continually grow and replace their teeth. Finally, student helpers assist in showing how big sharks are, from the smallest to the largest, and a few in between.

Challenges can vary (and be expanded) but usually include: Trivia Face Off, Connect 4, Hula Hoops, Word Scramble, and others. We usually alternate between challenges and grade levels. The best part is that each challenge involves 12-20 students at a time and lasts no more than TWO Minutes. The countdown clock is shown on a large video screen for indoor events or a LED Scoreboard for outdoor events. Twelve to sixteen challenges are played in a sixty minute time frame. ? This game is scripted for each school and can by vary by grade level groups. Its even awesome for family nights. Add a memorable soundtrack of kids favorites and you have what Michael, a second grader called The Best Assembly Ever. ?

Kidbucks Game Show Kidbucks game show is a thrilling game show where randomly selected members of the audience, participate in wild and crazy games. Unlike many "trivia based" game shows where contestants ring a bell and answer a question, Kidbucks is an "action" based game in which the contestants are competing in challenging and entertaining games of a physical nature. The final winner is the Grand champion and spends 30 seconds inside the kidbucks wind chamber. The chamber is a plexiglass box in which a large fan circulates "Kidbucks". As the bucks swirl about the chamber the contestant grabs as many as he or she can. The bucks are tallied and redeemed for a prize based on how many bucks are collected.
