Vetted Performer: Funtime Funktions - Global Games
The Vetted Programs were created by request from SELCO public library directors and intended to involve less library staff time dedicated to individual programming plans. Library staff expressed a desire for a simple, turnkey program approach that they could easily implement and manage for their communities. SELCO and the Vetting Committee maintain a catalog of performers on contract with SELCO to provide their services. Global Games teaches about the fun side of world cultures as attendees are introduced to a variety of toys and games from different countries. Volunteers are chosen and almost immediately show how easy they are to play and experience success, and at the end everyone has a chance to show off what they've learned through featured mini performances of their own! Global Games helps kids develop skills and build self esteem while gaining new respect for world cultures.
