Daytime Emmy®-Winning Live-Action PBS KIDS Series ODD SQUAD Helps Kids Build
Key Math Skills with ‘Oddly-Fun’ Mix of Mystery and Humor
Things are about to get very odd…! PBS Distribution announced today it is releasing “ODD SQUAD: THE O GAMES” on DVD, the latest title from the hit live-action PBS KIDS series ODD SQUAD. This new DVD featuring five stories from the popular series, one of which is a special extended adventure, will be available to fans nationwide beginning June 28.
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?
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.

My Review:
The new Odd Squad DVD "The O Games" is an incredibly fun and entertaining DVD. My kids love Odd Squad like every single one of my kids from my 1 year old all the way up to my eight year old. I also have to admit that I myself actually really like this show. It's extremely entertaining and funny. The shows on this DVD are perfect and I love how each episode helps kids build
key math skills. As a homeschooling mom of 4 I love that The new Odd Squad DVD "The O Games" makes learning math skills fun. From my experience when kids learn while having fun they're much more likely to remember just what it is they actually learned. The new Odd Squad DVD "The O Games" is the perfect way to allow kids to get in a little TV time while learning necessary math skills.
