Chicago’s Best Character/SEL Assembly For K–6 Schools

Give your students a magic mindset

What if your students could become better friends and stronger community members… by learning to think like magicians?

In this SEL assembly, students find out that the skills magicians depend on (empathy, focus, respect, perseverance) are the same ones that make a good friend and a good classmate.

What students learn

• 1

  Perspective

  How to look at a situation from another person’s point of view.

• 2

  Respect and inclusion

  Why both matter in a diverse school community.

• 3

  Resilience

  Messing up is part of the process, not the end of it.

• 4

  Focus

  How to develop the same concentration and confidence magicians use to succeed.

And yes, every student learns a magic trick they can perform at home. One that reinforces the idea that things aren’t always what they seem, and that perspective matters.

Designed for every grade

Younger students love the wonder, the fun, and the idea that they can become magicians themselves. Older students engage deeply with the behind-the-scenes peek (what’s in the case, how the tricks work, what it takes to be great at magic) and how those same lessons apply in life.

The message stays the same, but the delivery adjusts. Each performance is tailored to the age, maturity, and energy level of the audience.

Fast setup, zero stress
