I know about MicheLee Puppets, Tracey Conner, the Extreme Health Challenge, and MC Rico B. Kuhl because of my good friend Becky Lane. I believe MicheLee is the first non-profit organization we have featured here on Orlando Video, but I may be wrong (see Assembly). According to their PDF-only fact sheet from the site, they provide presentations on divorce, bullying, child abuse, healthy lifestyles (hence the drinking water), literacy and sexual assault prevention.
I Drinky Water is one of five commercials used to reinforce the messages from the wacky hit production of EXTREME Health Challenge, a show that empowers kids to eat right and get moving. Sit back, enjoy the video, and pass the link on to your friends to share.
Have an EXTREME day!
Um, wow… I guess principals and teachers like to see stuff like that. However, I did receive this submission via email to the liberatr [at] gmail DOT com, so I am more or less obligated to share it with you.
From what I understand, the Extreme Health Challenge begins with a live show in the school auditorium or gym and is aimed at elementary age kids, I suppose from 1st to 5th grade. Different ages probably get into different parts of the show. From what I understand, Fuschia (Becky) interacts with a number of puppet characters in a 40-minute-long show that encourages (or challenges?) kids to practice a healthy lifestyle. The other videos I have seen involve getting a good night’s sleep before a test (especially FCAT) and other fun stuff a-la early JetSet Show.
I don’t know why these videos haven’t been on YouTube since last summer when they were produced, since the entire audience MicheLee is going after with ExHC uses YouTube as their primary form of entertainment. It’s not like puppet music videos or encouraging kids to be healthy through music and pageantry wasn’t invented… oh… thousands of years ago. Plus, Sesame Street has a whole series of videos about being healthy, which I hope has the “We Just Love to Brush Our Teeth” song.
Actually I love this video. No, really. If you’ve got puppet stuff, send it my way. For a while I considered doing an all-puppet blog, but I think video from Orlando is small enough in scope… I’ll leave the puppet blogging to the puppeteers for now.
YOUtube is great to get the messages out to the world especially kids! KUDOS to the creatives of this video! Love empowering the future of this world!
