We love PBS shows in this house, so full of fun filled interesting programs and the Word Girl is one of them that is a new winner in this house. I’m delighted to share a movie that my girls completely fell in love with this past week, brought to you by PBS a new animated series from Scholastic Media ( a division of scholastic. )
The movie- WordGirl VS The Energy Monster. This 50 minute movie is packed with three different learning adventures where WordGirl and her side kick named Captain Huggy Face go after bad vocabulary. Yes, that’s right, The Good guys attack villains trying to get away with bad vocabulary.
It’s a new fun and upbeat way to get kids involved into the lesson. Throughout each adventures the kids are engaged in reading comprehension, word meanings, and general vocabulary skills.
There are also some special features which the kids enjoyed, including interactive games, video shorts and coloring pages.
The first adventure with WordGirl was broken up into two shorts parts called Dinner or Consequences part 1 and 2. It’s about a funny man called Dr. Two Brains who is stealing the city’s milk and using it to power up his new ray and turn the city into cheese! With his side kick the Energy Monster they are up to no good and it’s up to WordGirl to find the dairy and stop Dr. Two Brains. In order to do this, she has to miss out on the family feast . Problem is she must convince her family that she left dinner for a good reason which all comes together in the end when she is able to make it work out .
“Best Fan Club Meeting Ever”
A secret meeting is called to order to reveal a secret about WordGirl to the entire WordGirl Fan Club members. Tobey crashed into the meeting to try and find out the secret with a eavesdropping robot which suddenly goes array. WordGirl jumps to action to try and save the day , the clubhouse and all her fans! Can so do it? You will have to watch.
“Day at the Museum”
Scoops takes Becky ( WordGIrl) , Bob, and Violet to the museum to find inspiration for a news story for The Big City Times. When they hear a rumor about a haunted treasure, they go on a search – with The Butcher right behind! Will Scoops, Becky, Bob, and Violet find the treasure, get away from the Butcher, and do it all in time for Scoops to keep his deadline?
Very fun, I can’t wait for more adventures with WordGirl, my girls enjoyed it the most but my son watched it too, he of course liked the bad guys ( what boy wouldn’t ) Highly recommend to those families with kids, I’d say the ages ranges from 5+ .
