What is Pacca Alpaca: Olympics about?
Pacca Alpaca: Olympics is an animated video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Pacca Alpaca goes to the Olympic Games and has a go at one sport after another.
Pacca Alpaca is a fantastically fluffy guide who travels the world with children, discovering languages and cultures along the way. This episode opens in a stadium full of lights and flags, with Pacca and his animal friends by the Olympic flame: "Go team Pacca Alpaca!"
Each sport is named in big letters, and then comes a one-word action to shout along with. He runs a race ("faster, faster!"), clears the high jump, throws the javelin and swims in the pool. On the hurdles he falls flat, but the narrator calls "Come on, Pacca Alpaca, get up!", and he carries on. He dives while his friends hold up their scores, then rows a boat, hits the ball at beach volleyball, lifts weights, race-walks, jumps on the trampoline, hops and turns on the balance beam and cycles round the track, cheered on all the way with "You can do it!"
Then it is time for the medals, bronze, silver and gold, and Pacca stands on the podium with his friends. At the end, the action words come back on picture cards: run, jump, throw, swim, dive, row, hit, lift, walk, hop, turn and cycle. The video lasts about six minutes and is not music-free.
