School Assemblies
The Earth Rangers School Assembly is an inspiring, interactive presentation featuring live animals, games and trivia, captivating video content, and two enthusiastic educators who not only teach kids about the environmental issues our planet is facing, but empower them to take action. Our assembly is reinvented every year so it is always fresh, with the most up-to-date science and real-life work conservationists are doing in the field.
The School Show can be delivered either in-person or virtually.
In-Person
The In-Person School Assembly includes:
- A colourful set with built-in screens that transform your school gym and create an immersive, multimedia experience.
- Exciting demonstrations by our beloved Animal Ambassadors, like Sonic the Barn Owl, Millie the Three-banded Armadillo, and Blue the Savannah Monitor.
- Educational, curriculum-linked information appropriate for Grades 1-6.
- Interactive components that get students (and sometimes teachers!) involved.
Virtual
The Virtual Program includes:
- Real-time broadcasting, live from the Earth Rangers Centre.
- An innovative choose-your-own-adventure format, and other interactive elements that keep students attentive and engaged.
- Integration of technology, like green screens and multiple camera angles, to create a unique and immersive virtual experience.
- Animal behaviour demonstrations by our Animal Ambassadors, using our in-studio habitat wall and leveraging technology to do things like extreme close-ups or slow motion.
- Educational, curriculum-linked information appropriate for Grades 1-6.
