It's Book Time with Ronald McDonald

The show is designed to inspire elementary-age children to read. It has the full endorsement of Get Caught Reading, a leading, national reading campaign, designed to help students learn the importance of books and the fun in reading. "It's Book Time With Ronald McDonald™ " brings to life the concept of "book time" - the time we set aside to read.

In addition, the show reinforces appropriate library use and proper care of books. Ultimately, Ronald McDonald delivers a powerful message to children - reading is fun and book time is an important part of the day.
Go Active with Ronald McDonald
- Encourages a balanced, active lifestyle
- Teaches kids the importance of being active
It's a fun and active show that concentrates on both body and mind. During the show, Ronald's friend "Arnie" likes to stay inside his house playing video games and watching TV; Ronald and the audience try to coax "Arnie" to come out and play using improvisational games and fun activities to help set him on the road to leading a more balanced lifestyle. Ronald encourages everyone to burn energy by finding activities they like to do, make them fun and make them a habit. As Ronald says, "It's what I eat and what I do…and what I do is Go Active!"
