Ah, free samples at the store, win two points.

Woohoo.

- Good job, Chris.

- Thank you, thank you.

- Oh hi.

Welcome to Sesame Street.

- We're playing a game.

- Yeah,

and it's my turn.

- Would you like me to do the honors?

- Yes, please.

- Oh yes, yes, the official spinner, Chris.

- A-ha.

- Three.

- [All] One, two, three.

- Oh boy, what's it say?

- It says, ooh, stuck in the mud, lose turn.

- I don't wanna lose a turn.

- Well, that's where you landed.

- But that's not fair,

how come I have to lose a turn?

- Rudy, that's just how the game is played.

- Well I don't like this game.

I don't wanna play anymore, okay?

I give up.

- It's just a game.

- I'm not going to play this game anymore

because, because I've having a meltdown, okay?

- Hey buddy, Rudy, Rudy.

Hey, why don't we just take a deep breath together

and calm down?

- Yes.

- Okay?

- Just take a breath.

There we go.

- I took a breath.

- Good.

- But I still give up.

- What?

No.

Don't give up.

Hey, I think I have an idea how to make this game

really fun so Rudy won't wanna give up.

Come here, Chris.

- Oh, wow, that sounds like a fun new way to play the game.

- What?

What's fun?

- Here we go.

Red light, green light, stop and go,

change this game and make it grow.

Zippity zap.

(Elmo laughing)

- [Elmo] This is amazing, Abby, look at the gumball machine.

- [Rudy] So cool.

- Good job, Abby.

Boy, Elmo thinks Elmo's gonna like this game. (laughing)

- Welcome to Sesame Stop Light,

the game where contestants face challenges

while trying to keep their cool.

- Is it Chris?

- That's right, I am your host,

and you three are going to play for the same team,

right Abby?

- That's right, Chris.

(Elmo laughing)

So what do you say, Rudy, we can all play together.

- Well, I guess.

Okay, I'll play.

- Oh yeah, Elmo too.

- These are the rules for the game.

- Okay.

- If you need help, just yell red light.

This will give you a chance to stop

and take a deep breath.

Next the light will change to yellow.

This will give you a chance to think of a plan

to solve the problem.

- Okay, then what?

- When you're ready to try your plan,

just yell green light and go.

Got it?

- [All] Got it.

- All right then, it's time for our first challenge.

Abby, would you like to spin the wheel?

- Yes.

Okay, and...

(bright music)

- Shape shopping.

Follow me.

A-ha.

- The store, oh.

- Now the rules for shape shopping are simple,

you have to run into the store,

and come back with three triangles

before time runs out.

Are you ready?

- Yeah.

- Set.

Go.

Our contestants can grab anything they like

as long as it's a triangle.

- Ooh, cookies.

- Pie, awesome.

- Hey, you guys, are those triangles, huh?

- Well,

maybe Elmo can eat all of the pie

til there's just a little triangle left.

- Elmo, we have to find triangles.

- Oh, okay.

- But I can't find any triangles, it's too hard.

- Rudy's frustrated.

They haven't found one triangle yet.

Will they make it in time?

- I don't like this game, I'm frustrated.

I'm going to give up.

- Red light.

(whistle blowing)

- Red light means stop

and take a deep breath.

- Hey, it's okay, Rudy,

just calm down and take a deep breath.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Okay.

- Yellow light means think of a plan

to solve the problem.

- Okay, well we don't have much time left.

- There's too many things in the store.

- What if we each took a side of the store?

- That's a great idea, Elmo.

We need to focus and look for triangles.

- Well how do we do that?

- A-ha, Elmo knows.

What if we say to ourselves look for a shape

with three sides?

- Okay, got it.

- Okay, Rudy, you take this shelf.

Elmo, you look behind the counter,

and I'll check out the freezer.

- Hey, that sounds like a plan.

Are you guys ready to try?

- Yes, we're ready, we're ready.

- Green light.

- Green light.

- Look for a shape with three sides.

Look for a shape with three,

I found one.

- A shape with three sides,

a shape with three sides. (laughing)

One, two, three.

Three sides.

It's a triangle.

Elmo got a triangle.

- A triangle.

- Time is running out.

- Thanks guys.

- Yeah.
