Birdie & the beanstalk: 360 Trike-sperience
For PreK – 2nd Grade Students
Learning happens on many levels. Here, it begins with a pre-show where we set the stage, so to speak. Next, the audience participates in this ‘non-shushing’ show. Afterwards, students deepen their understanding of the story elements and SEL skills by retelling the story up on their feet and with hand-held props. Later, they take more home!

About the Show
Birdie and the Beanstalk reimagines the classic tale of Jack and The Beanstalk.
Jack has gone up the beanstalk, leaving his little sister Birdie below as the lookout. Birdie wants to help Jack, but something is stopping her – her fear of something terrible happening. As Jack’s quest in Giant World becomes dangerous, Birdie’s fear grows. When Jack needs her help, Birdie has to summon the courage to overcome her fear by naming it, calming it, finding safety, and eventually taming her fear. With the help of Clementine the Cow and the audience, Birdie realizes she can embrace her fear to protect her family.
