Best of Floor Rules Best of De regels van Floor
Kleuterworkshop Anansi
In Floor Rules, headstrong Floor tries to answer the major questions in life. What if you are sent to an anti-bullying course with your bully? Or if your best friend starts dating a dweeb? How do you get rid of an annoying babysitter? How do you provide a treat that will blow everyone away? And how do you track down the sender of a mysterious Valentine’s Day gift? Floor faces a number of tough choices, but always manages to come up with an original solution. Because the rules are generally thought up by adults, but in Floor’s opinion, kids are perfectly capable of making up their own.
During this workshop children will engage with the centuries-old folk tales about the spider Anansi, who always outsmarts his enemies. If you aren’t strong, you must be smart. The fairy tales originated in Western Africa and are famous in Surinam, on the Netherlands Antilles and in the Caribbean in general. They are passed down from generation to generation, undergoing minor modifications all the time.
In Best of Floor Rules we look back at four seasons of the VPRO series. The actors and directors will answer questions, provide a look behind the scenes and look ahead to season five of this popular series.

Pre-schoolers Workshop Anansi
Toddlers will play with that concept during this workshop that centres on the story of Anansi the Spider and the Greedy Tiger. The latter has appeared in book form which the children will reconstruct using point-and-tell sheets and they will act out a few brief scenes. A green screen will be used to transport the children to Anansi’s world. The scenes will be videoed and then edited together, creating a proper film.
