Children’s Media Consultant takes a look at Hi-5 and generally likes what she sees:
When executed successfully, the meter and rhymes inherent in songs can grab the attention of young viewers and encourage them to participate with what is occurring on screen. Refrains give further chances for viewers to grasp educational messaging. All of this is not only present in Hi-5 but an integral part of its storyline and structure.
While I’m not a big fan of the show myself, my kids get their days started watching. And if it comes down to Hi-5 or the Wiggles, I’d just assume it be Hi-5.

Hi-5 is the best thing to hit children’s television since Sesame Street. It has been nominated for two Emmys and is the highest rated show on Discovery Kids Ready Set Learn morning block.
Check out Hi-5 on tour. Your kids won’t be disappointed.
