The Big Fib is a weekly game show for kids and families where kids use their brains to tell what’s true from what’s false. Each week, a kid interviews two experts in a particular topic, one of which is a genuine, credentialed expert, the other a liar. Hilarious and fast-paced, the show teaches kids to ask insightful questions, weigh the evidence before them, and trust their guts. In the era of fake news, kids need to learn to be able to tell what’s true from what’s false.
