My programs range in length from 30 to 45 minutes.  Age groups start at 2-year olds through 10-year olds.  

I bring my guitar and Schmoodlick, my stuffed fish.  For younger children, I introduce Schmoodlik and let everyone pass her around to say, "Hello" to her.
 
I may do some "clowning" to engage the children, such as taking a nap and telling the children to be very quiet.  However, I start snoring and wake myself up.  I blame the children for the noise, but they insist it was me snoring.  I may do this several times and the kids just roar!! 

I introduce them to my guitar and then sing a few songs, most of which they sing with me.  I then read several stories with different voices for the characters.  Some stories I bring props and the children act out the story while I read it. 

It all makes for an engaging, fun and lively time.
