Romper Room was an American children\'s television series that was both franchised and syndicated from 1953 to 1994. The program targeted preschoolers (children five years of age or younger). Some stations would produce their own versions of the show instead of airing the national telecast, using the same script but with local children.
Each program opened with a greeting from the hostess and the Pledge of Allegiance in American broadcasts. The hostess and children would have 30 or 60 minutes of games, exercises, songs, story-telling and moral lessons.
Etiquette was a focus of Romper Room. The hostesses were always addressed as \"Miss.\" The show also had a mascot, Mr. Do-Bee. Mr. Do-Bee was an oversized bumblebee who came to teach the children proper behavior.
The hostess would also serve milk and cookies to the children. Before eating, they would recite the celebrated Romper Room grace: \"God is great, God is good. Let us thank Him for our food. Amen.\"
At the end of each broadcast, the hostess would look through a \"magic mirror\" and recite the rhyme, \"Romper, bomper, stomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me, do. Magic Mirror, tell me today, did all my friends have fun at play?\" She would then name the children she saw in \"television land\", saying, for example, I can see Joey and Susan and Julie and Steven and so on.
