Jesse the Juggler Schools

(VA and Nationwide)

Life Skills

Jesse the Juggler uses his juggling skills to teach life skills in the elementary school. The two main life skills he currently highlights in his juggling programs are cooperation and perseverance. Here are some examples of routines he would perform in order to illustrate each life-skill:

Cooperation – Jesse performs a hilarious trick where he recruits four adult males to make a “human table” out of them. And the end result is a lesson in cooperation. Each teacher must cooperate with the others in order to successfully pull off the human table.

Perseverance – This is where Jesse can put some fun juggling tricks into the show (and even some “how to juggle” lessons for kids). Perseverance is one of the biggest themes in learning how to juggle. You just have to keep dropping and picking up again and trying over and over again. The lesson is perseverance: if we keep pressing at our math homework (or anything else in life for that matter) and don’t give up, then we will find that we can accomplish it with a little patience and perseverance.

Jesse can also customize a message based on your desired themes. Just let Jesse know what you want and he will work with you to help promote the character values of your school.

There is much more to Jesse’s routines. He rides a unicycle, eats food while he juggles, plays the piano while he juggles, and you don’t want to miss the grand finale that involves machetes!
