Skippy and Dave

SKIPPY AND DAVE'S ANTI BULLY SHOW

This new program finds Skippy and Dave showing successful ways to understand each others' feelings and relate to one another while artfully illustrating current concepts about bullies, bully behavior, and bully avoidance. Our presenter, Dave Parker, is a professional ventriloquist/vocalist/guitarist from Marquette, Michigan. He and Skippy present a character-building assembly emphasizing anti-bullying and kindness as a fundamental, positive trait.

With Dave's guitar and audience participation, they will sing songs about friendship and understanding. Their show will include a steady parade of colorful puppet characters reminding students that they don't have to go through difficult situations alone. Skippy's light-hearted nature keeps the program upbeat and entertaining as he and Dave use humor and music to help students deal with a serious issue.

They first define "bullying", and then expand on different types of bullies and bullying behavior. Skippy and Dave use humorous dialog and songs of positive reinforcement with familiar tunes. Do and Don't do examples are explained for people who find themselves in bully situations. Safety is stressed as practical solutions are explored, for example: telling an adult, staying in a group, walking away, and, most importantly, keeping yourself safe. Another crucial concept presented is What Not To Do, for example: blaming yourself, bullying back, keeping it secret, skipping school or activities, or hurting yourself. Other topics covered are: correct action when witnessing bullying; and consequences of bullying for the bully.

This program is action-packed and fun; these informative concepts are artfully blended with entertainment, thus holding the students' attention as student participation is incorporated into the program.The prevailing message is to strive to be the best that we can be while avoiding bully behaviors on every level. The program is given in an age-appropriate manner.
