KABAM! is all about common childhood fears. Everyone gets scared sometimes. This preschool drama series shows in a light-hearted way that there’s a solution to anything . Just use a little imagination, that’s the way to do it! The quirky children in Mr Mo’s class all have a vivid imagination that helps them whenever they’re scared of something. In ten short stories, we get to know every child.
An educational package was developed for an elementary school (in cooperation with Theatermakerij Enschede and Taartrovers together with Netwerk Filmeducatie, see www.lessonup.com).
