Hi-5 (US)

The Show

Hi-5 is a high-energy, educational children's show full of songs, dance, and action. The show originated in Australia, but the United States picked up its own cast of five exciting (and ethnically-diverse) performers, including Karla, Kimee, Jenn, Curtis, and Shaun. The series, though shown in the US, is filmed on the original Sydney set.

Each week brings a new theme, whether it be animals, games, or colors. At the start and end of each episode, the Hi-5 performers come out to sing the week's theme song in front of an audience of energetic kids. In between these performances are individual skits performed by each of the five cast members. The final skit is always a story. One of the cast members reads it while the other four act it out. Kids won't even realize that they're learning.

As well as airing on TLC, Hi-5 can also be seen on Discovery Kids at 6:30 and 9:30 AM.

Click to listen!

If I look around
As far as I can see
The colors of the world
Are waiting for me

Blue for the sky
Green for the trees
Yellow for the sun
Orange autumn leaves

If I had to choose one color
A color just for me
I'd have to take them all
Take them all you'll see

And I'd be living in a rainbow (living in a rainbow)
Colors everywhere (colors everywhere)
Colors all around me (colors all around me)
And no one has a care
Colors everywhere
Let's go!

If I had wings of gold
I'd fly way up high
I'd fly through the rainbow
The colors, the sky

Gliding through the red
Diving in the blue
Sliding down the yellow
To be next to you

If I had to choose one color
A color just for me
I'd have to take them all
Take them all you'll see

And I'd be living in a rainbow (living in a rainbow)
Colors everywhere (colors everywhere)
Colors all around me (colors all around me)
And no one has a care

And I'd be living in a rainbow (living in a rainbow)
Colors everywhere (colors everywhere)
Colors all around me (colors all around me)
And no one has a care
Colors everywhere
Let's go!

Living in a rainbow...
Living in a rainbow...
Living in a rainbow...
Living in a rainbow!
