23/09/2016
This fall, kids are in for a delightfully spooky treat on PBS KIDS. On October 28, PBS KIDS will premiere THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT HALLOWEEN! on television and streaming devices. The new movie follows Nick and Sally as the Cat in the Hat takes them on an exciting Halloween ride. Additionally, PBS KIDS will premiere new Halloween-themed episodes from DINOSAUR TRAIN, NATURE CAT, and READY JET GO! Encore programming from PEG CAT, DANIEL TIGER'S NEIGHBORHOOD and many others will also air and stream on PBS KIDS all month long.
The treats keep coming in October when PBS KIDS will offer a variety of Halloween-themed games for kids to play on the free PBS KIDS Games App and pbskids.org, including the Cat in the Hat Corn Maze Craze, Cat in the Hat Camp Time, NATURE CAT Park Builder and PEG CAT Parade. A new Spooky Street and set of rewards will be launching on PBS KIDS' popular virtual world Kart Kingdom as well. Hands-on activities, including pumpkin-carving templates with favorite PBS KIDS characters, are available on PBS Parents.
Halloween is an exciting holiday for our audience, so we are celebrating this year with new programming from several of our popular series - including THE CAT IN THE HAT KNOWS A LOT ABOUT THAT!, said Lesli Rotenberg, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Children's Media and Education, PBS. PBS KIDS is dedicated to finding learning opportunities in the topics that kids are passionate about, and Halloween is no exception. During this festive season, when the school year is still just beginning for many students, PBS is proud to offer a wide array of content for kids, parents and teachers to keep the fun, exploration and learning going all October long.
This fall, PBS will also offer PreK-12 teachers an easy way to integrate Halloween themes into their instruction with a range of curriculum-aligned videos, lesson plans and games. Teachers can use these resources to enhance homework assignments or kick-start classroom discussions. These free resources are available to teachers nationwide on pbslearningmedia.org. Examples include PEG CAT's Tiger Trick or Treat, PBS LearningMedia's All About the Holidays: Halloween, PBS Digital Studios' Frankenstein, M.D. and more.
More information on PBS KIDS' Halloween programming, including when to watch, is included below. A variety of Halloween DVDs are also available from PBS Distribution.
