GLOBAL WONDERS AROUND THE WORLD cover image
Liked it for the most part. Kids tended to stop watching during the live action segments. Stimulated discussion about family birthdays and places everyone had been or would like to go after seeing it on the video. "Yes, we talked about birthdays." "I liked that girl and the soccer playing." Kids asked to watch it two more times after their initial viewing. They talked about many things they saw such as why the girl needed to take the special ball from the dog to give it back to its owner. The oldest child thought that people wanting to kiss a rock that lived in a castle (Blarney Stone) was funny. One boy, who is not very verbal, perked up when he heard "Shalom" in the video because it is a word he hears at Temple and at home. Overall, very good and appreciated by the children.
Nice mix of animation and live action. It presents a variety of places and cultures that are fun to share with children. Good length of segments, enough action to maintain interest. The live action segments give nice exposure to real people from the various cultures. It is very respectful of children's thinking and language skills. It does a lot to stimulate language by introducing words from many languages and the content stimulates conversation.
Join in on a fun day at the park and discover cultural wonders from around the world. Build a Blarney Castle, sing happy birthday in Spanish and taste Japanese karaage. When Lorenzo's soccer ball is missing, team up on a ball hunt to save the day.
