For Preschools & Early-Childhood Stage Show
Awaken their first sense of wonder.
Science · Storytelling · Movement · Mindfulness
Ninja Science Academy's Tiny Ninja Scientist Stage Show is a joyful, highly interactive, and completely screen-free stage show created especially for young children. Guided by Garret Rhea's original children's books and science songs, children enter an imaginative world where animals stretch, atoms are everywhere, music makes ideas memorable, and every child becomes a Tiny Ninja Scientist.
The experience blends storytelling, simple science, original music, animal yoga, playful sound effects, call-and-response moments, Ninja Games, breathwork, guided imagination, and a calming sound bath into one cohesive adventure. Children do not simply watch the show — they sing, move, balance, pretend, respond, breathe, listen, and explore together.
Let's face the truth
Keeping young children joyfully engaged takes something special.
Growing attention spans
Toddlers and preschoolers learn best through short, playful experiences that continually invite them back into the story.
Big energy in little bodies
Young children need opportunities to move, stretch, sing, balance, and participate—not simply sit and watch.
Learning begins through the senses
Music, rhythm, movement, imaginative play, and visual storytelling help children experience new ideas before they can fully explain them.
Calming can be learned early
Gentle breathing, soothing sounds, and peaceful storytelling introduce simple ways for children to slow down and reconnect.
The Stage Show
One story. Seven playful experiences.
Everything Is Made of Atoms
A first discovery of what the world is made of
Children look closely at familiar objects and discover a big idea in a simple way: everything they can touch is made from incredibly tiny building blocks called atoms. Through storytelling, movement, and playful repetition, an abstract scientific experiment becomes something children can begin to imagine.
Sound of Science
Original children's songs written and performed by Garret Rhea
Children clap, move, echo words, make sounds, and sing along as science comes alive through melody and rhythm. Original songs help transform new ideas into joyful experiences children can remember.
The Animal Yoga Adventure
Stretch, balance, imagine, and become part of the story
Children travel through an imaginative animal world, moving like cats, butterflies, frogs, snakes, birds, and other storybook characters. Each movement is woven naturally into the adventure, supporting body awareness, balance, coordination, creativity, and joyful participation.
Tiny Ninja Training
Movement, listening, confidence, and self-control
Children become ninjas-in-training through gentle, age-appropriate games involving balance, quick responses, simple poses, listening challenges, and group participation. There is no competition or pressure—just playful opportunities to move with purpose and celebrate trying.
Sounds, Stories & Imagination
Call-and-response participation for curious young minds
Playful voices, instruments, sound effects, gestures, and repeated phrases invite children to help move the story forward. Every child becomes part of the adventure by making sounds, answering questions, copying movements, and using their imagination.
Breathe Like a Tiny Ninja
A simple introduction to calming the body
Children practice a brief, toddler-friendly breathing exercise using an image they can understand—such as smelling a flower, blowing a feather, or gently filling an imaginary balloon. The activity introduces breathing as a simple tool for slowing down, listening, and becoming present.
Sound Bath Story Finale
A peaceful ending filled with sound and wonder
The adventure gently settles into soothing instruments, soft breathing, and a short guided storytelling meditation. Children are invited to rest, listen, imagine, and experience a peaceful conclusion before sharing one final Tiny Ninja Scientist celebration.

More than a performance
Science and self-mastery for the youngest learners
Tiny Ninja Scientist Stage is not a traditional science lecture, yoga class, concert, or meditation session. It is one magical participatory story in which children learn by moving, singing, imagining, listening, and exploring. The science awakens curiosity. The movement builds confidence. The music creates connection. The peaceful ending introduces self-awareness.
