Interactive choose-your-own-adventures!
In these adventures, children engage in facilitated imaginative play such as being pirates, vikings or fantasy creatures and together create a story based on the children’s actions and ideas. This activity usually roves through a fair, venue, school or festival, taking place in a specified zone where children move about and explore, rather than a stage show. Alternatively, participatory stage performances are similar but take place on a stage with children stepping up to act out sections of the story as it happens. Captain Roger Boots often initiates fractured fairy-tales in this form, where familiar tales such as “The Three Little Pigs” are changed around and the ending is different, up to imagination!
Captain Roger Boots is always evolving and improving his shows, just as the Pirate adventures has expanded to include a more formal “Treasure Hunt” option; where the children find maps in glass bottles with rhyming clues as to the location of the next clue, culminating in the location of the chocolate Treasure!
When supplying chocolate treasure (Optional) Captain Boots also includes organic vegan lollipops for those children who can’t have chocolate. The Captain also works as a relief childcare educator (Dip Children’s Services), so is very aware of allergies and dietary requirements.
