The NED Program

About the Show

The NED SHOW® is a high energy, 45-minute motivational assembly featuring our character NED and lots of active participation for kids. Presented through storytelling, humor, visuals and audience participation, The NED Show utilizes a multi-sensory learning model to motivate…encourage…INSPIRE your students to become champions at school and in life. 

We teach three critical skills that bring out the champion in every kid by sharing the story of NED, whose name is also an acronym.

These three simple principles can make a profound difference in every student, as well as create a strong impact on the culture of your entire school. By the time the assembly is dismissed, students will know that there is a champion inside of everyone!

Wait, there are free resources?

With The NED Show you can have more than an all-school assembly. The program includes free grade-level curriculum material to use after the performance. We also provide no cost resources on our website that can be easily printed and used in hallways and classrooms. Each tool is our way of helping the NED message resound at your school after the show.


We Get Around

We visit every US state (that’s right, all 50 of them), as well as tour internationally each year in Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand. We have performed at the White House on nearly a dozen child-focused occasions. Each year we perform in more than 6,000 schools and encourage more than 2.2 million kids worldwide, making us America’s most popular school assembly.
