How to meet CTS 6(b

Is entertaining

All children’s programs should be engaging and entertaining for the child audience. Providing exclusively educational programs is not the aim of the C and P concept.

Drama programs

Indicators of an entertaining children’s drama may include: > a good story > humour > unpredictability > a pace appropriate to the style of storytelling and that maintains the audience’s interest > a contemporary visual style.

Non-drama programs

While non-drama programs—such as game shows and magazine programs—do not necessarilyinvolve storytelling, theyalso need to engage and entertain the child audience. The same indicators used for a drama program (listed above) can be used for demonstrating that a non-drama program is entertaining.

One of the aims of C and P programs is to entertain children.
