Episode 1
WGBH brings ZOOM back to PBS to give a new generation of 6- to 12-year-olds a chance to explore, experiment, and share their creativity with the world. Like the original series, the ZOOM pilot features a cast of seven children who dance, sing, build bridges, solve puzzles, play games, and tell jokes. Every idea and activity on the pilot comes from kids who are credited on-air for their contributions. What' s new about ZOOM is an enhanced educational focus and an outreach campaign that makes use of new communication technologies, including e-mail, home video, and web sites. The pilot is being broadcast to get kids to send in their ideas which will in turn fuel the production of the ZOOM series - 40 half-hour daily programs to air on PBS in January 1999 to PBS's Ready to Learn lineup.
In a world bustling with technology and fast-paced entertainment, there's something refreshingly nostalgic about turning back to the simple joys of childhood. 'Play School', an iconic Australian children's television show that first aired in 1966, offers just that. With its inaugural season setting the stage for over five decades of educational fun, it's time to revisit or perhaps discover for the first time this timeless series.
A Journey Through Time
Season 1 of 'Play School' introduces audiences to a charming blend of activities, songs, and games designed to captivate young minds while also engaging parents who fondly remember their own childhood experiences. Each episode is thoughtfully crafted by hosts who pass segments back and forth seamlessly, sometimes joining forces to double the fun. The daily ritual of looking at the calendar not only teaches children about days and weeks but also instills a routine that's both educational and comforting.
