The Kikapu Story

“We had the pleasure of working with beetroute on a promotional and
educational video for our product, brand and company. The whole experience from beginning to end was both a great pleasure and dealt with extremely professionally, and the end result was fantastic.”

• Kiran Jethwa. Director, The Kikapu Company –

‘Who wants to be a beetionaire’ is an experimental game show spoof based on the popular TV series Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Hosting the show is Robert Worst, an enthusiastic character who sometimes is a little slow to understand. Each episode, he telephones The SLOW Journey team in a new country. Aukje presents simple geographical and historical facts from the country. The students watch the episode in class and use their listening comprehension skills to answer multiple-choice questions. Over 600 students in the Netherlands have successfully enjoyed this product.

Teacher feedback

Our students enjoy following beetroute a lot! They are getting a different perspective on ‘third world countries’, for example, they are so surprised when they discover certain areas in northern africa are so lush and green! Also, their listening comprehension skills benefit greatly from watching the videos in English. - Karin van den Heuvel, Geography Teacher , Varendonck College, Asten, the Netherlands -
