Using real-time maps from BirdCast, we’ll peek into the nighttime skies to see how millions of birds travel across the continent. Kids and their families will flap their wings, land in “stopover habitats,” and face migration challenges in a lively hula hoop game that brings the migration story to life. Together, we’ll learn how we can help birds on their travels—from turning off lights at night to creating bird-friendly backyards. Perfect for elementary-aged children and curious parents alike.

Together, they jump into a fast and funny retelling of the classic fairy tale, playing every role and discovering unexpected surprises along the way.
