What is Boating with Pacca Alpaca about?
Boating with Pacca Alpaca is an animated video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Pacca Alpaca and his friends spend a day on the high seas, trying out one kind of boat after another.
Pacca Alpaca is a fantastically fluffy guide who travels the world with children, discovering languages and cultures along the way. This episode is all about vehicles that travel on water. At the start, the narrator wonders what kind of boat Pacca and his friends will be cruising in today, and the answer is: lots of them.
Over about three minutes, the friends sail in a sailboat, ride on a cruise ship, row a rowboat, zoom along in a speedboat and float in a gondola, a dinghy and a houseboat. There is even a moment when Pacca comes to the rescue. At the end, the narrator goes back over every boat they tried, so children can remember and name each one.
It is a light, cheerful way for young children to learn new words for the boats they may see on holiday, in a picture book or at the seaside, and to notice how different boats are made for different jobs, from the tiny dinghy to the huge cruise ship. After watching, children can try to name all the boats they remember, and say which one they would most like to ride in with a friend.
