The play 'My Super Power' was created by Cobargo woman Sarah Campbell Lambert for kids recovering from the Black Summer fires and the ongoing COVID crisis.

Through a series of songs and stories, the audience followed Ginger the Frog on her many adventures and lessons on overcoming her fears of braving the world outside her home.

Various messages on how to manage your emotions were woven throughout the play. These included how to deal with anger and grief, telling the truth or making it right after you've lied, dealing with grumpy people, not judging, and learning that home is where the heart is.

The play was created as an introduction to an emotional wellness program aimed at teaching children and parents how the mind works and ways to take charge of your emotions.

Ms Lambert said she will use the rest of the year to finish developing an online program that she has spent six years researching and which incorporates her own direct experience of the fires coming through Cobargo.

The program will be available to schools in 2022 and will include eight stories about Ginger that are laced with wellness techniques, and an album of wellness songs which includes guided visualisations.

The first live performance was held at Wallaga Lake for children from the Little Yuin preschool and members of the local Indigenous community on July 9.

"The first show all the kids jammed their faces all along the stage, they were all just looking up at the actors, grinning from ear to ear," Ms Lambert said.

Lead actress Charlotte Ahrens, who played the role of Ginger, said performing for the local Indigenous community was the highlight of the local tour.

One of the scenes of the play that particularly struck a chord with children at Wallaga Lake was the scene where Great Aunty Fifi taught Ginger to put her anger into a balloon and send it away.

Ms Ahrens said they noticed this when actress Aurora Kurth panicked over trying to find a precious belonging that had been misplaced, and one of the children came up to her to help.

"One of the kids, Waruu Penrith came up to her, put his hand on her back and said 'just breathe, do you need to breathe into a red balloon?'," director of the play Dave Houston said.

Ms Ahrens said she noticed it had an immediate calming effect on Ms Kurth and that it was one of the first signs that made them realise the kids were taking it all in.

The Bega show times on July 17 were longer because they included extra activities and added entertainment.

This included a kids artwork station, a drama workshop, a mindfulness activity run by Ms Lambert and performances by Djembe Forte and Uncle Warren Foster.

"In the Bega morning performance we had about 15 kids leaning on the stage looking up at the actors," Mr Houston said.

Ms Kurth said that despite recent COVID restrictions making the process more challenging, they were fortunate to have such a good turn out.

"It was a success especially considering what we were dealing with," she said.

The next steps in the great plan for Ginger the Frog include adjustments to the script and songs, the creation of a wellness package to be distributed to schools and a two-week tour in Hawkesbury and Coffs Harbour in 2022.
