Company behind The Singing Kettle doing weekly live events for kids during pandemic

The theatre and entertainment company formerly behind legendary Scots show The Singing Kettle are helping keep kids entertained during lockdown.

The UK Government announced this week that the country have at least another further three weeks of social distancing ahead of them, with kids not expected to return to the classroom anytime soon.

With many parents now working from home, the task of keeping youngsters entertained all day long is likely to only get tougher as the weeks drag on - but there are plenty of live events you can take advantage of.

FunBox are just one of those companies who are now live streaming events, with an interactive singalong on Fridays from the writers and performers who were previously behind The Singing Kettle.

Typically popping up in locations across Scotland, FunBox's shows are suitable for kids of all ages, with everything from traditional singalong songs to brand new Scots-inspired compositions.

The last "FunBox Fri-yay" event racked up over 3,000 views as performers Kevin, Anya and Gary gave kids a few shout outs in between songs and the rest of the show.

They plan on hosting another event next Friday, which you can catch on their Facebook page here.
