Vinny learning a lesson on wisdom

A couple of months ago at KidStuf Live we launched the Big Idea of Wisdom - knowing what’s best when you’re put to the test.   As we’ve moved to a once a month production, we’ve been in experimentation mode with the format and February’s KidStuf Live ended up being one of our best so far.

Here’s a few things we did that seemed to work well this month:
- We anchored the show with one character (Vinny) struggling to find a wise solution for a problem and the rest of the clubhouse trying to help him solve it.

-We leveraged audience interaction by bringing 2 kids and 1 parent out of the audience to help Vinny discover the wise choice using the cards from our Take-Out box. (Modeling our application tool throughout the show)

- We did a huge cheesy, parody # of High School Musical’s “We’re All in This Together” (karaoke track) called “We Don’t Know Much about Wisdom.”

-And finally, we ended the show with Vinny actually learning to open, read, and apply (in a funny way) a Bible verse proving that the Bible is the best when you’re put to the test.

And just cause we like you - here are the lyrics we wrote to “We Don’t Know Much About Wisdom” sung to Vinny by the whole cast showing him how TV can help you with your problems:

We Don’t Know Much About Wisdom
W-i-sdom, w-i-sdom, w-i-sdom you need some
W-i-sdom, w-i-sdom, you need for your problem
You got your first A, but, your friend he cheated and lied.
You want the, w-i-sdom, to help you choose what’s right

Verse:
We’re all here
To help you make the wise choice
but we can’t figure it out (no no)

it’s too hard but we can sing and make some noise
and pack a theater out

So come on Vinny, we’ll help you feel much better
That’s what we’re all about

Chorus:
We don’t know much about wisdom
But we know
If you sing
and you dance
You’ll be happy

We don’t know much about wisdom
And it shows
When we try
To apply
What’s in movies!

We don’t much about wisdom
We don’t know
In a test
What’s the best
but we’ll fake it

We don’t know much about wisdom
But we know
If you sing
And you dance
You’ll be happy!!

Rap:
VInny just sing this song
You really don’t have to know it all
Problems they ain’t no thing
You just gotta dance and sing

Wave your hands up in the air
Can’t find wisdom anywhere
That’s the way we do it
Just sing through it
and just strike a pose YEAH!
