The Workmen are pushing a huge wheelbarrow of props around. People are stopping them, showing them where to go so they find the right path. They need help with a huge poster. Will they learn how to behave in the park or at the theatre? Will they know how or when to laugh at a joke in the right way, or when to be sad when there’s drama or tragedy?

At Christmas time they help out with Christmas preparations and show people how to set up a Christmas tree in the square and how to decorate it. They even sing a Christmas carol. Sometimes though, they use their mega wheelbarrow as a taxi. Children like this as they can have a ride in it.
