ABOUT BOOHBAH

Boohbah is an exciting new programme for children, with a format that fosters both creative thinking and creative movement. Boohbah is entirely designed to encourage physical action on the part of its young viewers. It deliberately combines infectious magical movement, for children to imitate, with inset stories for them to predict outcomes.

The design of the show - visually and otherwise, draws upon early concepts in science, maths and art and combines these with ?televisual magic? to create a uniquely funny television experience.

The Boohbahs, five magical atoms of power, light and fun travel in their Boohball around the world, from child to child. Fifteen countries are visited throughout the changing title sequence.

The Boohbahs represent the imaginative power and light which allows children to control the screen action by the use of the magic word ?Boohbah?, and send presents into an imaginary Storyworld for the Storypeople - Grandmamma, Grandpappa, Mrs Lady, Mr Man, Brother and Sister, Auntie and Little Dog Fido to play with and make a story in partnership with them. We hear the children intervening in the screen action by the sound of their blowing and their use of the word ?Boohbah?. This motivates the action and moves the story along. Only Little Dog Fido is not wholly in their control! Children are totally engaged and have a lot of fun guessing which Storyperson will appear and what will happen next.

SAFETY ON THE WEB

Whilst we encourage the interactive nature of on-line media, it is important that parents are aware of how to safeguard their children?s privacy when using the web. We advise them to discuss with their children restrictions regarding the on-line use of personal information.

Key notes to parents :


Try and surf the Internet with your child, and advise on good and safe sites to visit


Set time limits to prevent running up huge phone bills


Say when and where your child can use the Net e.g. at school, libraries or a friend?s house


Remind your child to always tell you about anything they don?t like, are afraid of, that scares them or makes them uneasy
