But Why: a Podcast for Curious Kids the Kratts Take on Wild Animal
But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids The Kratts Take On Wild Animal Adventures April 21, 2017 [00:00:20] [Jane Lindholm] This is But Why, a podcast for curious kids, from Vermont Public Radio. I'm Jane Lindholm. Today we're going to bring you a special episode in-between our regularly scheduled shows. When I'm not working on But Why, I have a regular job making a radio show for VPR. [00:00:39] [Jane Lindholm]. It's called Vermont Edition, and on that show I interview all kinds of people who have connections to Vermont and New England. We talk about politics, breaking news, arts, culture, sports and anything else you can think of. The other day, I got to talk with two brothers who I thought you might enjoy hearing from. Chris and Martin Kratt are better known together as the Kratts. They have spent the last 20 years making educational TV shows for kids that introduce you to all kinds of animals around the world. The show you might see these days is called Wild Kratts and it's a PBS kids show. They've also done shows called Zoboomafoo, Kratts’ Creatures and Be the Creature. Martin and Chris spent a lot of their summer time as boys in a place in Vermont called the Northeast Kingdom. It's a very rural and still kind of wild part of the state up near the Canadian border. So we're going to play you my interview with them in this special episode; and they answered a lot of questions from kids who called in.

WK Animal Cards.Indd
Go Wild Game pbskids.org Go Wild is a version of the classic children’s card game known as Go Fish. It can be played by two or more kids. The goal of the game is to make the most “books” or sets of four identical cards. MAKE THE GAME: Print and cut out the playing cards. To make the cards sturdier and last longer, glue the paper to a cereal box before cutting. You could also laminate the cards. HOW TO PLAY: • The dealer shufﬂ es the cards and gives each player ﬁ ve cards to start the game. The remaining cards are placed face down in a pile in the center of the game table or space. • Once all the cards are dealt, the players can look at their cards. If a player has four of the same cards in the dealt hand, then those cards can immediately be placed on the table face up in front of the player. • The player to the left of the dealer starts the game by deciding which of his cards he would like to collect to build a set. The player then asks an opponent — it can be anyone playing — if they have that card, for example: “Do you have cheetahs?” That opponent must then give the player all of his cheetah cards. If the opponent does not have cheetah cards, she says, “Go Wild.” The player then draws a card from the center pile. • If the player gets the card he requested from an opponent or draws that card from the pile (he must show everyone that he drew that card), then he gets to go again.
