Ginger the Frog is a fun and interactive wellness program supporting healthy emotions in children aged 3-7 years.
During the last three years, many young children have endured disruption in their lives due to natural disasters and the pandemic and as a result their emotional development has been affected.
We’re excited to be offering a program for children and their care-givers that supports mental and emotional well being at this critical time.
“Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man” Aristotle.
The Ginger the Frog program supports children from 3-7 years to regulate their emotions, dissolve stress in their body and cultivate empathy, creativity and confidence. This is achieved through the magic of theatre, storytelling, music, song, movement, concepts and exercises that create familiar habits, proven to develop physical and emotional well-being.
The program has two parts:
A musical theatre show
for 3-7 years
Free wellness programs for kids and their caregivers
Part 1
My superpower is touring in October 2022 in Coffs Harbour, Nambucca, Hawkesbury!
My Superpower is a live musical theatre show, which stars a nervous young frog called Ginger as she navigates life. My Superpower uses the influence of story, the excitement of live theatre and the power of songs to inspire and entertain.
My Superpower showcases emotions such as anger, disappointment, frustration and fear as well as empathy, confidence, positivity, courage and grit. It includes exercises which encourage children to identify and regulate their own emotions and feelings.
The show is a work of high quality children’s theatre that features four actors, puppets, animation and a variety of original songs from genres including surf-rock, hip-hop, dub reggae, folk and 70’s disco.
More information is available here about us and the show www.gingerthefrog.com

I loved the experience, the My Super Power performance was amazing and very well written and performed. I loved hearing Sarah’s mindfulness presentation and the interactive exercises for kids and adults where we learned the different techniques was wonderful.

We loved the whole show and thought that the characters, costumes and message was very well thought through and my favourite part was when Ginger’s conscience made her realise that she had done wrong and she tried her hardest to fix it and not just let it go or give up. My youngest loved that the spider was so cool and funny.

The show was fantastic and engaging the whole time . We also participated in the workshop and it was so much fun and well ran. Thank you.

Relatable and memorable emotions portrayed in characters that are accessible and good techniques to managing stress. Well done all a great show! Very much needed in the Valley for our children!

To all involved in the play today – it was brilliant. I felt privileged to witness kids thoroughly engrossed and enjoying the play whilst incidentally learning so much.

My Super Power warms the heart, chocks the throat and flows the tears. children and adults alike remember to breath, grieve and release…well done all and totally professional… a fantastic local performance, engaging, colourful and focused on the recovery of our beautiful little ones.
BC
I took 3 year old Georgia to see My Super Power starring Ginger the Frog and she absolutely adored the whole show. A show about being brave, kind and resilient is just what we both needed. Georgia was particularly excited about putting her “big pants” on and fell asleep to “inside a star” the night following the show.
