The virtual world of Santa’s Village transports you into the imagination and enchantment of childhood. As you enter, you are welcomed by Leo the elf puppet, who will guide you through the 4 adventures of the imaginary country.
The first epic takes place in an interactive show, linking puppet characters and actors, to undertake educational games.
The second quest is set to the music of Daniel Péloquin-Hopfner to make children sing and dance to Christmas melodies with the help of elves.
The adventure continues with a story told by Santa Claus about one of his reindeer. It will be punctuated by songs and dance guided by the elves Leo, Carine and Zara.
Before concluding and wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Leo the elf invites the children to sit tight and open their eyes and ears to watch the puppet show “The Three Little Pigs”.
Segment 1: Educational games
(12 to 15 minutes)
Lutin Léo (puppet) and his friends Lutin Carine and Lutin Zara (actors) play games with the children. Youngsters will be encouraged to stand in a fixed place to move, stretch, listen, observe, guess and imagine.
The signal is conveyed to the students through 3 types of interactions:
1: Elf imagines
2: Goblin says
3: Goblin hides his gift
Interest of the games:
Focusing attention on a given signal; learning not to be influenced by outside factors and taking individual responsibility.
Segment 2: MUSICAL WORKSHOP

Lutin Léo invites Franco-Manitoban artist Daniel Péloquin-Hopfner to sing festive songs to the melodies of his guitar live from Santa’s Village.

Segment 3: PARTICIPATIVE PUPPET
(12 to 15 minutes)
Pascal is busy building a big snowman but would like his sister Julie’s help. He sends his friend, Knock Knock the woodpecker, to deliver a message, with the promise of a surprise. Knock Knock leaves at high speed. When he arrives at Julie’s house, Knock Knock discovers that she is looking for her mittens and offers to help. Without success, Julie comes out with socks on her hands instead of mittens. On her way out, followed by Knock Knock, Julie discovers that her mittens are on the snowman’s arms. Angry that Pascal took her mittens without permission, she throws a snowball and breaks the snowman’s head. Pascal is sad, so to cheer him up, Julie, with the help of Knock Knock, tries to put a new head on the snowman. But all the things she finds to replace the head don’t work. Julie blames Knock Knock for his clumsiness. Pascal has an idea, and decides to replace the snowman’s head with a watermelon and asks Knock Knock for help. Toc Toc resists but is convinced by Pascal with another promise of a surprise. After helping Pascal, Toc Toc asks for his surprise, but Pascal is too busy to give him an answer. With sadness Knock Knock leaves the stage. When Pascal realizes that Knock Knock is no longer there, Julie realizes that they have hurt their friend’s feelings and that they need to fix the situation.
After several calls and a little game to convince him to come out of hiding, Pascal and Julie apologize for their behavior. They finally give Knock Knock a nice big surprise… The watermelon.
