There are two main puppets in the show:

Crab

Turtle

There are also lots of other sea creatures for you to meet.

6

We will come to your school and make a special beach.

7

Before the show Frankie, Michelle, Jamie, Rachel and Amity will come to your school to help you make things and learn songs from the show.

8

During the show they will sometimes give you things to touch like sand, shells & corals.

Or to smell, like seaweed.

9

Or to taste, like jelly sea snakes.

You can say – “Yes please”Or “No thank you”.

10

When we go deep under the water in the show, it gets a bit dark and we can play with torches!

We hope that you will enjoy our visits and the Oddysea show.
