LIVE IN-SCHOOL THEATRE PERFORMANCES
The Playground Craze presents live theatre directly to your school, in your school. These incursions teach students about cyber safety, confidence and resilience through hip hop dance and pop music.
The evidence-based messages in the performances help students strengthen self-awareness and self-management of the personal and social skills encouraged in the curriculum.
Students learn through music and storytelling how to build positive attributes in themselves by observing characters in ‘real world’ contexts of young people.
For Grade Prep to Grade 6 students
Cool pop music, fun videos and live in-school performances engage students with important social-emotional skills, covering topics such as confidence, resilience, kindness, persistence, friendship and cooperation. The messages help students strengthen self-awareness and self-management of the personal and social skills encouraged in the curriculum.
Designed to support the curriculum and complement your school’s existing anti-bullying and student wellbeing programs, this live performance gets students excited and facilitates further conversations in the classroom. Teachers are supported to continue the learning with lessons plans, music & videos.
“Your show was amazing!!! It was super engaging, the kids/teachers loved it! Very relatable to the things kids go through. The songs and content linked beautifully to curriculum aims at our school.”
– Katerina Stojanovska, Laurimar Primary School
For Grade 2 to Year 8 students
In an exciting live show using popular dance & music trends, we explore digital safety, cyberbullying, social media, viral videos and online gaming. The performers dance in giant phones onstage to show the viral trends that students engage with everyday.
The performers lead students to consider the positive and negative impact that devices have on their lives. While the digital world may allow young people to create and connect, they are also exposed to cyber-bullying, lack of social bonding, isolation and a sedentary lifestyle.
‘Cyberkindness’ by The Playground Craze encourages healthy participation in both the online and offline world.
“High energy, great dance sequences, enormous enthusiasm throughout which helped to ‘win’ over the year 6 kids. Awesome show with lots of energy that engages the kids.”
– Jasmin Walsh, Jannali East Public School
Touring to Schools in Australia and NEW ZEaland Since 2014
Students get excited about The Playground Craze because the music and dance is like what they hear on the radio or see on YouTube. They see our performers as pop stars, so they are very receptive to listening to the positive messages shown onstage. The excitement of the show helps them to really integrate the strategies they need to build their self worth and form positive relationships.

Covered so many aspects of cybersafety relevant to kids these days. Very entertaining, the perfect mix of performance and audience involvement. Targeted very well to the students and their interests, Tiktok, gaming etc. Most importantly, the message of being cybersafe shone through! Question time at the end was a nice touch and helped with the kids’ understanding.

Both shows were incredibly engaging with such fantastic messages to students about wellbeing – particularly in this digital age! Particularly loved the TikTok dancing to get them engaged.
