My girls love Odd Squad. My husband even enjoys watching it with them! It is one of the few “real people” shows that they will watch all the way through. We love just about every show on PBS Kids and Odd Squad is in the top 5 for sure. We are really excited about the newest DVD, The O Games, which just hit stores everywhere TODAY, June 28, 2016!
Synopsis
In the story “The O Games,” select Odd Squad agents square off in several crazy math challenges – from the blob toss to the 25 centigurp dash – for a chance to be Ms. O for a day and run Odd Squad! Agent Otto is chosen to compete, but so is the villainous Odd Todd, Agent Olive’s former partner! Will Odd Todd strategically eliminate each of his competitors so he can win the competition and shut down Odd Squad forever? Purchase here.
Also featured on the new DVD is the story “Bad Luck Bears.” When a basketball behaves oddly at practice, the Bears’ coach seeks the help of the Odd Squad to set things straight. During a meeting at headquarters, Otto discovers that bad things happen to the Bears whenever the number 13 is involved. As the Odd Squad works to eliminate any 13s on the players, the Bears learn how different number combinations add up to 13.
