Screen-Free Kids' Entertainment with Music and Imagination

Sometimes the best entertainment is the part that happens after a video or outside a screen altogether. Tiny Kaiju and Dopey Dragon have songs and stories that can support audio listening, musical movement and imaginative games, all without requiring children to watch a device.

Tiny Kaiju and Dopey Dragon music and adventures

Finding your monster-music moment

Use the characters as prompts rather than prescribing an entire imaginary world. A child can decide what Tiny Kaiju finds on a mountain, why Dopey's drum is missing or what colour a new monster should be. An adult can offer a question and follow the child's idea. Even background music is optional if the group would rather tell the story in silence.

Try these ideas together

  1. 1

    Make an audio adventure

    Play Best Friends Forever without video and imagine where the monster friends might travel.

  2. 2

    Create a cardboard stage

    Arrange a safe box or piece of paper as a pretend stage; give each drawn character a spot and an instrument.

  3. 3

    Build an invisible orchestra

    Take turns miming instruments that make no sound. Everyone else guesses what they're playing.
