Hi, welcome to Elmo's World.

Guess what Elmo is wondering about today.

Wait for it.

(giggling) Wait for it.

Rosita and Telly are playing a card game.

- Go fish, Telly!

(Elmo and Rosita laughing)

- Boy, Elmo wants to learn all about games.

Let's ask Elmo's friend Smartie.

Let's call her together.

- [Elmo And Children] Oh, Smartie!

(electronic beeping)

- Hiya, Elmo.

Ooh, hang on one second.

- Okay.

(electronic beeping)

- Woo-hoo! I won the game.

- (laughing) Yay! Oh, that's perfect!

Because Elmo wants to learn all about games.

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

- [All] We look it up!

- Looking for games.

Here we go.

There are lots of different kinds of games you can play.

But one thing they all have in common is you have to play

by the rules.

Whether it's card games, board games,

computer games, sports, or other outdoor games.

They're all lots of fun.

- (giggling) Boy, Elmo loves playing games.

- Me too.

See you later, Elmo.

- Bye, bye, Smartie, see you later.

Boy, Elmo wishes he could play a game right now.

Hey! That gives Elmo an idea.

Let's play a game together.

(giggling) Yeah, come on, come on.

(playful music)

To play this game, we have to find two cards

that have the same shape,

and the same color.

Are you ready?

Let's play.

This card has a blue triangle.

Which card matches it?

Is it this one?

- [Child] They're both the same shape.

They're triangles, but one's blue,

and the other one is orange.

- [Elmo] Whoops.

Elmo has to remember the rules.

They have to be the same shape and the same color.

Let's try again.

Is this the match?

- [Child] Yes!

They're both blue triangles.

- [Elmo] Great. Next round.

Now, what about this card?

It has an orange square and it matches this orange square.

- [Child] Yes! Perfect match.

- [Elmo] Hooray! We did it! We matched

the same shape and color.

(giggling)

Boy, everybody loves playing games.

Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.

Does Mr. Noodle like to play games?

Oh, let's ask him.

Hey, Mr. Noodle!

(laughing)

It's Mr. Noodle's sister, Ms. Noodle.

- [Children] Ms. Noodle!

- Oh, and Schmoodle!

- [Children] Schmoodle!

- Hi, Noodles!

Oh, Ms. Noodle, do you play games?

(honking)

Oh, you like to play games with Schmoodle.

What games do you and Schmoodle play?

(silly sound effects)

Checkers?

- [Child] Dogs don't play checkers, Ms. Noodle.

- [Elmo] Try again.

(silly sound effects)

- [Children] Hockey, that's not right!

- [Elmo] Dogs don't play hockey, Ms. Noodle.

Think of a game dogs like to play.

(silly sound effects)

A rope? What game do you play with that?

- [Children] Tug of War!

- [Child] Yes, they're playing tug of war.

- [Elmo] Wow, Schmoodle is really strong.

- [Children] Pull, Ms. Noodle, pull!

(children and Elmo giggling)

(boinging)

- [Elmo] What happened to Schmoodle?

- [Child] Where did he go, Ms. Noodle?

- [Elmo] Where is he?

(silly sound effects)

(whistling)

(Schmoodle barking)

- [Children] There he is!

- [Elmo] (giggling) Schmoodle was playing hide and seek!

Oh, nice game playing. Thank you Ms. Noodle.

(giggling)

Boy, learning new things makes Elmo so happy,

it makes him want to dance!
