Watch Hi-5

Hi-5 is a children's television series that featured five presenters who sang, danced, and told stories with the aim of promoting learning through play. The show aired from 1999 to 2012, and it was produced by Kids Like Us, an Australian company. The five presenters who starred in the show were Kellie Crawford, Charli Robinson, Nathan Foley, Kathleen de Leon Jones, and Tim Harding. However, in the later seasons, some of the original casts left, and new presenters joined the team.

At the beginning of each episode, the presenters would greet the audience and introduce themselves. Then, they would sing the Hi-5 opening song, which became a trademark of the show. The episode would then proceed with different segments that aimed at teaching children different concepts such as numbers, colors, shapes, and letters of the alphabet.

One of the most memorable segments of the show was the Hi-5 House segments, which occurred towards the end of each episode. In these segments, the presenters would perform a song and dance that showcased different elements of a house. The objective of this segment was to teach children about different aspects of a house, such as the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and living room.

Another popular segment of the show was the Chats segments, where the presenters would chat with different puppets, such as Jup Jup, a purple alien who only communicated with beeps and squeaks. In these segments, the presenters would ask the puppets questions and help children learn different concepts such as counting and problem-solving.

The Making Music segment was also a popular feature of the show, where the presenters would sing songs and teach children different musical concepts such as rhythm and melody. Additionally, there was the Puzzles and Patterns segment, where the presenters would work on jigsaw puzzles and help children learn about spatial visualization.

Throughout the show, the presenters would also engage with their viewers by encouraging them to participate in different activities such as listening and clapping along with a song or doing a dance routine. They would also encourage viewers to send in artwork or messages that they would showcase during the show.

In addition to the segments, Hi-5 also featured music videos that played during the show. These videos featured the presenters singing and dancing to original songs that were both catchy and educational.

Overall, Hi-5 was a fun and educational show that aimed to teach children different concepts through play. The presenters were energetic and engaging, and the content was tailored to the needs of young children. The show was a big hit among children globally, as it was broadcast in more than 120 countries around the world. The legacy of Hi-5 continues to live on today, with the presenters continuing to tour and perform for children.

Hi-5 is a series that is currently running and has 15 seasons (136 episodes). The series first aired on January 1, 2015.
