Join Jamaica Bob as he transports you and your students to the West Indies on an amusing musical tour. Along the way you’ll experience engaging songs, educational content and active participation through a spicy blend of music and culture.

Calypso for Kids highlights the music, language, geography and cultures present in the Caribbean Islands. The musical styles include calypso, reggae, cha-cha and soca, all of which are indigenous to the Islands.

Jamaica Bob keeps the students attention as he encourages them to listen so they can have fun—especially the up front fun where they have to answer questions based on the programs content.

Your students may be smiling and singing as they leave but more importantly, they will have learned that culture can be fun!
