- Hi, welcome to Elmo's World.

Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

Oh, all the letters of the alphabet.

Oh, from A to Z.

Boy, Elmo loves the alphabet

and wants to find out more about it.

Hey, let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.

Let's call her together.

Oh Smartie!

- Hiya Elmo.

Check this out, it's my favorite, alphabet soup.

- [Elmo] Oh yeah, oh, that's perfect Smartie

because Elmo wants to learn all about the alphabet today.

- Well, what do we do to learn something new?

We look it up!

Getting the A to Z on the alphabet, here we go.

You can find letters of the alphabet all around us.

They're on street signs and even doors and windows.

There are uppercase letters, which are letters that are big

and there are lowercase letters,

which are letters that are small.

Some letters have straight lines, like the letter T,

other letters have fun, curvy lines, like the letter S.

When you put letters together, you can sound them out

and make all sorts of wonderful words.

- C-A-T.

- [Smartie] That spells cat.

- Wow, Elmo loves C.

The letters of the alphabet make words.

- Yeah, it's pretty A-mazing.

Well, I got a word search waiting for me.

I'll Z you later.

- Oh, Z you later!

Thank you Smartie.

(laughter)

Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.

Let's play a game together.

Yeah!

Come on, come on.

(laughter)

(whimsical music)

Let's see how many letters we can find in this picture.

Are you ready?

Let's play.

Boy, Elmo doesn't see any letters.

- [Boy] There's a B.

- [Elmo] A B?

Where?

- [Girl] The bench.

- [Elmo] Oh, the bench, Elmo sees it, B is for bench.

What other letters can we find?

- [Boy] An S, it's in the sun.

- [Elmo] Oh, there it is, S is for sun.

Are there any more letters?

- [Boy] Z!

- [Elmo] Z, where's the letter Z?

- [Boy] On the zebra.

- [Elmo] On the zebra, oh, found you letter Z

and Z is for zebra.

We did it, we found all the letters!

Good job everybody!

Wow, the alphabet is everywhere.

Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.

Oh, does Mr. Noodle know the alphabet?

Oh, let's ask him.

Hey Mr. Noodle!

Oh, it's Mr. Noodle's poodle, Schmoodle!

(laughter)

Hi Schmoodle.

- [Children] Schmoodle!

- Oh Schmoodle, do you know the alphabet?

(barking)

You do?

Schmoodle, show us the first letter of the alphabet.

- [Children] Yeah, show us!

(barking)

- [Girl] That's not the first letter of the alphabet,

that's a ball.

- [Elmo] Schmoodle, a ball isn't a letter of the alphabet,

A is the first letter of the alphabet.

Can you find the letter A, Schmoodle?

- [Boy] That's not the first letter of the alphabet,

that's a bone.

- [Elmo] Elmo thinks Schmoodle wants to play.

- [Children] Keep trying, Schmoodle.

- [Elmo] That's it,

the letter A is the first letter of the alphabet.

- [Children] You did it, Schmoodle!

- [Elmo] Maybe next time,

you can find more letter to make words!

Thank you for helping us

learn about the alphabet, Schmoodle.

Thank you, Schmoodle.

- Hi, welcome to Elmo's World.

Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

Oh, birthdays!

Happy Birthday, yay!

Boy, Elmo loves birthdays

and wants to find out more about them.

Hey, let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.

Let's call her together.

Oh, Smartie!

- Wee, hi Elmo, happy birthday.

Can we pretend it's your birthday?

- Well, yeah sure, okay.

- Happy pretend birthday, Elmo.

- Yay, oh thank you Smartie.

Boy, that's perfect because today Elmo wants to know

all about birthdays.

- Well, what do we do to learn something new?

- We look it up.

- Searching for birthdays, here we go.

On your birthday, you celebrate the day you were born.

Kids have birthdays and grownups have birthdays too.

Each time you have a birthday, you're one year older.

There are lots of things to do on your birthday

like have a party, play games,

and you can help people you love

celebrate their birthdays too.

(laughter)

There are just so many exciting ways

to celebrate a birthday.

- Oh, but Smartie,

how can Elmo celebrate his pretend birthday?

- Easy, just blow out the pretend candles

on your pretend birthday cake.

- Oh, okay.

- And don't forget to make a wish.

- Oh, right.

(blowing)

(laughter)

- So, what was your wish?

- To blow out all the candles!

(laughter)

Yay!

- Great job blowing out the pretend candles.

See you later.

- Bye bye Smartie, thank you.

Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.

Let's play a game together.

Yeah, come on, come on.

(whimsical music)

This girl is turning three years old.

Which cake has the right number of candles for her?

Lets count the candles.

One, two, three, four, five.

Too many.

Let's try again.

How many candles now?

One.

- [Child] Now there's not enough candles.

- [Elmo] Okay, Elmo will try again.

Let's count.

One, two, three, yeah, great job!

(blowing)

Yay!

Boy, Elmo thinks it's fun

to help people celebrate their birthdays

and give birthday presents.

Boy, that makes Elmo wonder even more.

Does Mr. Noodle know how to wrap a birthday present?

Let's ask him.

Hey Mr. Noodle!

Oh, it's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle.

Hi Mr. Noodle!

Oh, Mr. Noodle, do you know how to wrap a birthday present?

You do?

Oh, show us Mr. Noodle.

Oh, did Mr. Noodle

make that birthday present for his friend?

- [Child] That's nice of you, Mr. Noodle.

- [Child] Now you can start wrapping.

(beat boxing)

- [Child] No, Mr. Noodle, not rap like music.

Wrapping paper!

- [Elmo] Oh, Mr. Noodle is wrapping the present.

- [Child] Don't wrap yourself, wrap the present.

That's enough tape, Mr. Noodle.

Stop taping!

You're silly.

- [Elmo] Elmo's sure that your friend will like the present.

Thank you Mr. Noodle, bye bye.

- Hi, welcome to Elmo's World!

Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?

Wait for it.

Wait for it.

Boy, he looks sad.

Oh, but a friend is giving him a flower.

Oh boy, that's so kind.

Kindness, yeah.

Oh, Elmo wants to find out more.

Hey, let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.

Let's ask her together.

Oh Smartie!

- I'm here, here I am.

- Hey Smartie.

- Hiya Elmo.

- Why is Smartie facing backwards?

- 'Cause I didn't want to ruin the surprise.

Surprise!

I drew a picture of us.

Boy, that's so kind.

Oh, and that's exactly why Elmo called.

Elmo wants to learn more about kindness.
