Presentations can be done in the classroom, media center, or cafeteria and the presenter must set up and stay in one room while the children rotate between classes/groups. In some cases, weather permitting, an outdoor show can be done so long as the presenter and animals are totally out of direct sunlight. Teacher/counselor participation is required.
