Why we love Yo, Gaba Gaba

Written by my friend Judson Kelly

Yo, Gaba Gaba is my favorite children’s educational show, which we watch on Satellite TV. My four year old loves the rousting music and the dancing. I love that she is learning about sharing, being a good friend, brushing her teeth and other basic moral issues. Her favorite character is a little striped green guy named Brobee. He is shorter than all the rest and has long arms, but he is cute and dances around with the rest of the characters.

The show starts out with the characters froze in motion and then DJ Lance Rock shouts out “Yo, Gaba Gaba!” All the characters come alive and start to dance, sing and run around to the theme song. The five major characters are Plex, Muno, Foofa, Toodee and Brobee.

Every show begins with a new theme. All the show segments then revolve around this theme. The kids are encouraged to do silly funny things like make funny faces, do some cool tricks, play pretend or listen to different sounds to guess at what they are.

Always a special guest visits. They usually will show up in the “Dancey Dance Time”, and then break out with a new dance for the kids to learn. My little girl loves this and will spring up from her chair and prance around with the music.

Yo, Gaba Gaba is a great educational show that is fun to watch with your children.
