The THUMB Show
- hilariously nourishing!

Specifically for Upper Primary the T.H.U.M.B show takes the core message:

This is the central message the kids learn

and sugar coats it with magic, juggling and good old fashioned knee slapping hilarity, then serves it up to years 4-7 in an inspiring show that will leave them with the notion – Hey I’m just a kid but I CAN make a difference.

There are 4 individual T.H.U.M.B shows that your school can experience. Each one is designed to build on the previous year’s show. They’re all hugely entertaining variety shows featuring magic, juggling, ventriloquism, mind reading, escapology, music, sound effects and loads of audience participation. Ample time is made for Q&A.

What do schools say about the THUMB show? Well it's new for 2010 but here's what other schools have said about the hundreds of shows with an educational message Julian Mather has performed in schools around Australia.

Though outwardly different in appearance all four follow this structural template:

Part 1: Knowledge and Awareness

What does making a difference mean?
The Recipe: inner qualities, clever thinking, time

Part 2: the Tools for making a Difference

Introduce the Rule of THUMB

Part 3: the Opportunity to Make a Difference

Can I Really Make a Difference? Yes.
I Challenge You To Make A Difference

Review

To the students it will seem like the best fun day of their school year but the message is loud and clear.
