Imagination Adentures with The Backyardigans
The Backyardigans is a fun Nick Jr. show for preschoolers to enjoy watching and singing along with. One of the best aspects of the show is that it is simple having only five main characters and very rarely introducing any other characters. Of course, the number one thing that makes this show great is how it shows the characters using their imaginations to have adventures in their connecting backyards. This can inspire kids to be more imaginative and encourage them to have their own imaginative adventures away from the television, especially with some direction from parents/caretakers.
The five main characters are Pablo the penguin, Tyrone the moose, Uniqua the pink polka dot character, Austin the kangaroo, and Tasha the hippo. In the show they have different adventures in their backyards, which are connected. As the adventures begin the backyard scenery transforms into the scenery they imagine for the episodes adventure. The episodes do not always include all the characters on the adventures, which makes it seem even more realistic because it is like playing with neighborhood kids and not everyone always being available to play at the same time. The episodes always end with it being snacktime and the characters being invited to one person’s house for snacks.
The Backyardigans currently has three seasons of episodes and a total of 58 episodes. The variety of adventures include snow adventures (like Pablo pretending to be a Yeti in “The Yeti”), being pirates (such as in “Pirate Treasure”), and being spies (such as in “International Super Spy). Each episode has a least one catchy song in it that is sung as part of the adventure. The episodes all also have a catchphrase that is repeated throughout the episode, such as “Ahoy, Mateys” in the “Sinbad Sails Alone” episode.
