YOUTH PROGRAMS
LISA LOMBARDI PROGRAMS Prank Humor Lab
Lisle Recreation Center • 1925 Ohio Street, Lisle
Prank or visual “gag” comedy is truly the oldest trick in the book. Now kids can learn how to take their comedic side up a notch through healthy pranks in a lab setting. This high-energy workshop will offer electrifying lessons on how to execute a prank that is believable and when pranks are taken too far. Also, learn how to create your own homemade gags that cost nothing! Whether your child is naturally funny or not, this class is appropriate for them as we will meet them at their comedic level. After learning the history of practical jokes in Western culture, children will have the opportunity to perform a gag on their new comedy friends, gain a higher sense of self-esteem while doing it, and perhaps learn to use prank humor in a future social setting. All par- ticipants leave with a souvenir and will enjoy a snack! This is a cooperative program with the Woodridge Park District.

As parents we want the best for our children….friends, sports, vacations, education, teachers, clothes, technology, and the list goes on and on. What about the gifts of high self-esteem and leadership? Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself and a feeling that you are able to handle life every day. It’s believing in your talents and that you have value to offer the universe. When you possess this, it becomes easier to be a leader.
Through creative expression in an incredibly fun workshop, kids will have the chance to cultivate self-worth and won’t even realize they are working on self-esteem. What to expect? Interactive self-esteem booster games will be executed like Lollipop Marathon, King’s Throne, Balloon Bust, Billboard This, Ten Seconds, Money Madness, Campaign Craze, and Toy of Me. Kids emotional “buckets” will get filled and will likely be overflowing with confi- dence when they depart this class. Don’t be surprised if there is a bit more “pep in their step” after this workshop. Research shows that children who had opportunities to build self-esteem as a child, display higher leadership skills later in life. Kids will learn from a Certified Professional Life Coach the hottest tips in building self-esteem and being happy leaders. Self-esteem is always a work in progress, but this will be a transformational kick off. In a self-absorbed and competitive world, garnering and keeping self-esteem is sometimes a tall order, but this class will help harness it! This is a cooperative program with the Woodridge Park District.
