Self Esteem Program
Pre Kindergarten through Early Elementary

Barnyard Buddies is an innovative program which equips children at an early age with the self-esteem necessary to make healthy choices throughout their lives. Through these lessons, the children watch as seven barnyard animal puppets learn the virtues of nonviolent communication, respect for themselves and others, as well as the courage to resist the intimidation of peer pressure.

The audience is then encouraged to take an active roll through a related activity designed to reinforce the particular value in each story.

The philosophy of Barnyard Buddies is to create an atmosphere of acceptance in which children can realize their own value, and therefore become better equipped to handle the challenges which life presents.

Barnyard Lessons include “Think Before You Act,” “I’ll Use My Words Instead Of My Hands,” “Being Kind Is On My Mind,” “I Can Talk My Anger Out”, I Can Choose To Be Brave”, and “I Am Important”.
