A PG comedy-cabaret-poetry extravaganza, led by hypnotist-turned-primary school teacher, Ben Dali. Framed as a school day with an unusually entertaining supply teacher, this mischievous, fast-paced journey through elements of the Key Stage 2/3 curriculums features sharp wordplay, mind-blowing trivia, visual humour and crazy antics. Mr Dali shares his own childhood poetry, rhyming balloon-modelling lesson, a joyful exploration of English language's finest Humdinger Words, and genuine improvised rhyming mind-reading to celebrate language, curiosity and confidence. The climactic show-and-tell segment provides a platform for children to share their own poetry. So, creative whippersnappers: come prepared!
