Cbeebies - Shiny Show

What fun! This programme has the potential to develop a child's self-esteem and confidence. For example, children are given the opportunity to 'give themselves something shiny' if they get an answer correct, but wisely, they are also given the opportunity to praise themselves by 'patting themselves on the side' just for trying.

Three puppet characters, Tiggs, Dogsby and Mukka hold a lively quiz show. This 'joining-in' show does just that - encourages children to take part.

The programme is interactive, requiring a response from children at regular intervals. This is an important aspect in children's programming in order to combat passive viewing. Children are also encouraged to join in with the fun by singing songs.
