Synopsis
Nutrition, exercise, and hygiene lessons are threaded throughout this fun version of a familiar tale. In The Nutrition Show, Hansel and Gretel leave home because they don't like the food their parents provide...it's way too healthy! So they head for the forest in search of junk food. On the way they meet a variety of creatures who attempt to teach them important lessons about eating and exercise choices. Will Hansel and Gretel pig out on the witch's house of candy, or will they finally realize that junk food cannot be the center of their diet?

My Kinder-2nd grade students love singing the songs in Hansel and Gretel. The melodies are simple enough to learn for this age group and the lyrics also teach valuable lessons about nutrition and hygiene. We’re performing this in December and I know that my students can’t wait. Thank you for writing a version of Hansel and Gretel that is appropriate for young children!
