  • - [Child] It matches the other block house.

  • - Yay, we did it.

  • Good job, everybody. (laughing)

  • What's he got?

  • - [Children] What's he got now?

  • - [Child] Is that a lunchbox?

  • People who play sports are called athletes.

  • They wear special clothes and uniforms

  • and use special gear and equipment.

  • This hockey player has a helmet, uniform jersey,

  • pads, ice skates, and a hockey stick.

  • Sports are great exercise,

  • and a lot of fun for everyone to play too.

  • (fans cheering)

  • Oh hey, it sounds like the Chargers just scored a goal.

  • (Elmo laughing)

  • - I better get back to the game.

  • See ya, Elmo.

  • Woohoo, way to go!

  • - Ms. Noodle. - Hi, Ms. Noodle.

  • - [Elmo] Ms. Noodle, reading is fun,

  • but it's not a sport.

  • - [Child] She's reading the sport section.

  • - [Elmo] Oh, Ms. Noodle.

  • You're reading about sports, not playing sports.

  • - [Child] Yeah, you need to play.

  • You need to wear a uniform.

  • - [Elmo] Yeah, okay.

  • (laughing) Ms. Noodle's a softball player.

  • - [Child] That's right, softball is a sport.

  • - Oh, nice mitt, Ms. Noodle.

  • Little big but, oh look, she's ready to catch the ball.

  • Is it the chicken? Let's check.

  • Duck, frog, pig.

  • Duck, frog, pig.

  • Duck, frog, chicken?

  • - Let's check, duck, frog, pig.

  • Duck, frog, pig.

  • Duck, frog, pig.

  • Now we have to choose an actor to be in our play.

  • A robot, a cowgirl, or a mouse?

  • - Robot. - Okay.

  • Beep beep beep, boop boop boop.

  • Now we have to pick what the robot does.

  • Is he a chef, a basketball player, or a tap dancer?

  • - [Child] He likes to dance.

  • - [Elmo] A dancing robot? That's great.

  • Look at him go.

  • - [Children] He's dancing.

  • - Then he got tired and took a nap, the end.

  • (laughing) Yay, we put on a play together.

  • (Schmoodle barking) You do?

  • (laughing) Put on a play for us.

  • - [Children] Yeah.

  • - [Child] Show us.

  • - [Child] It's Little Red Riding Hood.

  • - [Elmo] But where's the Big Bad Wolf?

  • (Schmoodle barking)

  • You're going to be the Big Bad Wolf, Schmoodle?

  • (whimsical percussion music)

  • Oh, Schmoodle, is that really a wolf costume?

  • - [Child] That's not a Big Bad Wolf.

  • - [Elmo] That's a taco, try again.

  • (Schmoodle barking) (whimsical percussion music)

  • Oh, smells good Cookie. - Thank you very much.

  • - (laughing) Oh boy, Elmo loves cooking,

  • and wants to find out more about about it.

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

  • Let's call her together.

  • - [Elmo And Children] Oh, Smartie.

  • (bright chiming music)

  • - Cooking? I enjoy cooking as much as I enjoy recharging.

  • And that's a lot. (Elmo laughing)

  • - What is Smartie wearing? - It's a chef's hat.

  • What would you like me to cook?

  • - Oh, well nothing, Elmo isn't hungry.

  • Elmo just wants to learn about cooking.

  • - What do we do to learn something new?

  • - [Smartie, Elmo And Children] We look it up.

  • - Searching for cooking, here we go.

  • Cooking starts with a recipe.

  • A recipe tells you the ingredients you need.

  • Before you cook, it's important to wash your hands.

  • The recipe tells you how much of each ingredient to use.

  • (bright upbeat music)

  • Next, you put all the ingredients together.

  • - [Elmo] Oh look, they're mixing it all up.

  • - [Smartie] Right, and now they're rolling out the dough.

  • They're putting tomato sauce on it, and cheese.

  • - They're making pizza. - Gotta set the timer.

  • The best part of cooking is what comes next, eating.

  • And eating is a great way to refuel,

  • which gives you more energy. - Uh-huh.

  • - (gasping) Oh, which reminds me, I gotta go recharge.

  • See you later, Elmo. - Bye bye, Smartie.

  • Boy, there's so many different ways to cook.

  • (bell dinging)

  • Mm, just like the recipe says.

  • (laughing) We did it.

  • Boy, cooking is so much fun.

  • Hey, that makes Elmo wonder even more.

  • Does Mr. Noodle like to cook?

  • Let's ask him, okay?

  • Hey, Mr. Noodle. - Hi, Mr. Noodle.

  • - Mr. Noodle, do you like to cook?

  • (whimsical percussion music) You do?

  • Hey, show us what you cook, Mr. Noodle.

  • - [Elmo] Get your shoe outta the pot,

  • Mr. Noodle, no, no, no. (whimsical music)

  • Whoa spaghetti, yum, yum, yum.

  • Oh, that's a lot of spaghetti, Mr. Noodle, wow.

  • (whimsical upbeat music)

  • We're waiting, we're waiting. (timer dinging)

  • - Let's find out more about measuring.

  • - Yep, me knew that.

  • - Over here. - Yeah.

  • - [Smartie] When you wanna know how tall, or hot,

  • or fast things are, you can measure them.

  • There are lots of tools that you can use

  • to measure things, like a height chart

  • that measures how tall you are.

  • Before you go out, you can check the thermometer,

  • which measures the temperature

  • to see how hot or cold it is.

  • You can use all kinds of things to measure with.

  • He's 11 pieces of chalk long. (giggling)

  • A measuring cup helps measure ingredients for baking.

  • People do a lot of measuring every day.

  • - Oh, that gives Elmo an idea.

  • Does Cookie Monster wanna play a game with Elmo?

  • - Who doesn't wanna play a game with Elmo? Of course.

  • - Well come on, come on. - Okay, oh wait for me.

  • (bright curious music)

  • - Elmo wonders if we can measure this monster.

  • Are you ready? - Me ready.

  • - Then- - Let's play.

  • - [Elmo] What can we use to measure?

  • Balls, worms, or oatmeal containers?

  • - [Cookie] Oh worms, yeah, let's try to measure with them.

  • - [Children] You can't measure with worms,

  • they'll wiggle away. - Let's try again.

  • - What about balls? (bright chiming music)

  • - [Elmo] The balls don't wanna stay stacked up.

  • - [Children] They're rolling away.

  • - [Elmo] There's only one thing left.

  • - Oatmeal containers. - They worked.

  • - [Elmo] The monster is one, two, three, four,

  • four oatmeal containers tall.

  • We measured the monster. (bright shimmering music)

  • Boy, Elmo loves measuring. - Yeah, me too.

  • Especially with oatmeal boxes.

  • They make me think of oatmeal cookie.

  • - (laughing) Yeah.

  • Hey, that makes Elmo wonder even more.

  • Does Mr. Noodle measure things?

  • Oh, let's ask him, Cookie Monster.

  • - [Cookie] Okay.

  • - [Elmo And Cookie] Hey Mr. Noodle.

  • - Hi Mr. Noodle. - Mr. Noodle.

  • - Mr. Noodle, do you measure things?

  • (curious whimsical music) (air whooshing)

  • (gentle music) Wait for it.

  • (laughing) Wait for it.

  • (laughing) Camouflage, you know,

  • where you blend into the background, oh like this.

  • Ha ha, do you see Elmo?

  • How about now? (laughing)

  • Boy, Elmo wants to learn more about camouflage.

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

  • Let's call her together.

  • - [Elmo And Children] Oh, Smartie.

  • (bright chiming music)

  • - That's weird, Elmo can hear Smartie,

  • but Elmo doesn't see her.

  • (Smartie laughing) Wow.

  • - I'm right here. (Elmo laughing)

  • You didn't see me, because I was camouflaged.

  • - Oh, Elmo wants to learn more about camouflage.

  • - What do we do to learn something new?

  • - [Smartie, Elmo And Children] We look it up.

  • - Searching, aha, here you go.

  • Camouflage is a way to hide by blending into the background.

  • Lots of animals are great at camouflage.

  • Some are the same color as what's around them,

  • making them hard to see.

  • Some animals have patterns, like spots or stripes,

  • that help them blend in with each other,

  • and some are camouflaged

  • because they look like something else.

  • These insects look like sticks,

  • they're really hard to spot.

  • There are even some animals that can change

  • what they look like to blend into the background,

  • and camouflage is also pretty amazing.

  • - (laughing) Wow, camouflage is amazing.

  • Thank you, Smartie. - Sure thing.

  • And if you need me again, just ask, if you can find me.

  • - (laughing) Boy, Elmo loves learning about camouflage.

  • Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.

  • Oh, let's play a game together.

  • Yeah, come on, come on. (laughing)

  • (upbeat curious music)

  • There are some animals camouflaged in this picture.

  • Let's see if we can find all of them.

  • - [Children] Here's one.

  • - [Child] That cheetah is hiding in the grass.

  • It blended right in. - Yeah, there it is.

  • Good job, oh can you find another animal that's camouflaged?

  • How about this doggy? - He doesn't blend in.

  • - No, he's just hiding. (bird chirping)

  • There in the tree, a green bird in the green leaves.

  • - [Elmo] Oh, what a pretty bird.

  • Wow, you're good at this.

  • Now let's see if we can find one more.

  • - [Child] Hm, this is a hard one.

  • - Did you see that? - Is that rock moving?

  • - [Elmo] Maybe the animal is behind that rock.

  • (laughing) Oh, the animal is the rock.

  • - [Child] It's a big turtle, I think it's called tortoise.

  • - We got all the camouflaged animals, good job.

  • (laughing) Wow, camouflage is so cool,

  • and that makes Elmo wonder even more.

  • Does Mr. Noodle know about camouflage?

  • Let's ask him, okay.

  • Hey, Mr. Noodle.

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

  • - [Elmo And Children] Hi Mr. Noodle.

  • - Mr. Noodle, how do you camouflage yourself?

  • Oh no, that's peek-a-boo. - That's not camouflage.

  • - [Elmo] That's good hiding Mr. Noodle,

  • but camouflage is when people don't know you're there.

  • (curious whimsical music)

  • - What, Mr. Noodle. - Mr. Noodle.

  • - [Child] That's just a disguise.

  • - [Elmo] Camouflage is when you blend in

  • with everything else. - Mr. Noodle.

  • - Where's Mr. Noodle? Oh, there he is.

  • He blends in with the tree, good camouflage, Mr. Noodle.

  • Bye bye, Mr. Noodle.

  • more about fairy tales today.

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

  • - [Smartie, Elmo And Children] We look it up.

  • - Here we go, once upon a time, there were fairy tales.

  • Fairy tales are made-up stories.

  • Sometimes they're about heroes,

  • with exciting and funny characters

  • like the seven dwarves, or even giants.

  • Fairy tales can be in books,

  • or you can pretend you're in one.

  • And best of all, they end happily ever after.

  • - (laughing) Wow, you're just amazing.

  • - I'm late for a date with a dragon, see ya.

  • Boy, Elmo loves all the different kinds of fairy tales.

  • Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.

  • Oh come on, let's play a game together, yeah. (laughing)

  • (upbeat curious music)

  • Okay everybody, let's help Jack get the golden egg

  • down the beanstalk and back home.

  • Now which way should Jack go first?

  • - [Child] Down, go down.

  • Go that way, Jack. - Not that way.

  • Turn around. - Keep going down.

  • - That's right, go down. - He's doing it.

  • - [Elmo] Now which way should Jack go?

  • - [Child] Go between the yellow flowers.

  • - [Child] That's it, almost there.

  • - We did it, yay. (laughing)

  • Boy, Elmo loves happy endings.

  • Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.

  • Oh, does Mr. Noodle know any fairy tales?

  • Oh, let's ask him.

  • - [Elmo And Children] Hey, Mr. Noodle.

  • - Oh, it's Mr. Noodles sister, Ms. Noodle.

  • Hi Ms. Noodle.

  • Oh Ms. Noodle, Elmo's wondering.

  • Do you know the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk"?

  • and even coloring books. - Wow, colorful.

  • - [Smartie] There are even books you can read on a screen,

  • Okay, gotta book it Elmo.

  • I can't wait to find out how the story

  • I'm reading turns out. - Thank you Smartie, bye bye.

  • Boy, anybody could write a book, huh?

  • Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.

  • Oh, come on, let's play a game together.

  • (laughing) Yeah, come on, come on.

  • (upbeat curious music)

  • Let's write our own story.

  • First, we've got to decide where our story takes place.

  • It could be in a jungle, or on a pirate ship,

  • or in a restaurant.

  • - Pirate ship. - Pirate ship, okay.

  • So once upon a time on a pirate ship, there was a pirate.

  • The pirate wants to play a game.

  • Should have the pirate play catch, hopscotch,

  • or tic-tac-toe? - Catch.

  • - [Elmo] Catch okay, the pirate needs someone

  • to play catch with. - A shark.

  • - Yeah a shark. - A shark?

  • - That's a great idea.

  • And they played catch happily ever after, the end.

  • (laughing) Wow, great job, we did it.

  • - [Child] That's not a book either.

  • He's reading a bottle of milk.

  • - [Elmo] That's not a book, that's a milk bottle.

  • (laughing) Books have pages.

  • Mr. Noodle, where's your book?

  • - [Child] It's little, it's an itty bitty book.

  • - [Elmo] How are you ever gonna read a book that small?

  • (whimsical bright music) A great idea.

  • There's so many different kinds of wheels.

  • There are wheels that help up to get around,

  • and wheels that help us to move heavy things.

  • Wheels come in different sizes.

  • Some are big, and some are small.

  • Some things use lots of wheels,

  • four wheels, three wheels, two wheels,

  • but sometimes one wheel is all you need.

  • - Wow Smartie, there's so many different kinds of wheels.

  • - There sure are, later Elmo. - Later, Smartie.

  • Are you ready? Let's go.

  • Okay first, we need to start with the biggest wheel.

  • Which one of these is the biggest?

  • - [Child] That one, the cart wheel, the one made of wood.

  • - [Elmo] The cart wheel? Let's try it.

  • Yeah, that's the biggest wheel.

  • Oh, and which wheel comes next, this one?

  • - No. - Not that one.

  • - [Elmo] (laughing) Oh, you're right.

  • It must be this one. - Yeah, the bicycle wheel.

  • - [Elmo] That means the wagon wheel is the smallest.

  • - Yeah. - That was wheely great.

  • (laughing) Did you get it, wheely great?

  • (laughing) Boy, that makes Elmo wonder even more.

  • Oh, does Mr. Noodle use wheels? Let's ask him.

  • Hey, Mr. Noodle.

  • Oh, it's Mr. Noodle's sister, Ms. Noodle.

  • - [Elmo And Children] Hi, Ms. Noodle.

  • - Ms. Noodle, Elmo was wondering, do you use wheels?

  • (bright whimsical music) You do?

  • (laughing) Oh, show us how you use wheels, Ms. Noodle.

  • Okay, Ms. Noodle's gonna use wheels to move her wagon.

  • (bright whimsical music) Wait a minute,

  • there's no wheels on your wagon.

  • What are you gonna do?

  • Oh she's got it, she's got it.

  • - Wait, you can't use those. - No, you can't use those.

  • Wheels have to be round, remember?

  • (whimsical percussion music) - Yeah, round wheels.

  • Those are the right shape.

  • - [Elmo] Now Ms. Noodle can use the wheels

  • to move her wagon. - No, that won't work.

  • That's not how you use wheels.

  • - [Elmo] Try again, Ms. Noodle.

  • - [Child] She's putting them on the wagon.

  • Yeah, that's right. - That's it, Ms. Noodle.

  • (whimsical percussion music) Yeah.

  • Oh, Sesame Street is Elmo's habitat.

  • Oh, and Big Bird's habitat. - Hi Elmo.

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

  • - [Smartie, Elmo And Children] We look it up.

  • - Searching for habitats, here we go.

  • A habitat is where an animal finds food,

  • water, and a place to sleep.

  • Some animals' habitats are the forest.

  • Other animals' habitats are under water.

  • Some habitats are under the ground,

  • and some habitats are above the ground.

  • - Wow, who knew there were so many

  • different kinds of habitats?

  • - Time for me to get back to my habitat.

  • Catch you later, Elmo. - Bye bye.

  • Boy, everybody has a habitat.

  • Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.

  • Oh, let's play a game together.

  • Yeah, come on, come on.

  • (upbeat curious music)

  • Oh wow, Elmo wonders if we can match the animals

  • to the habitats.

  • Are you ready? Let's play.

  • So there are three habitats,

  • a forest, an ocean and a desert,

  • and there are three animals, a camel, a monkey and a whale.

  • Which animal belongs in which habitat?

  • How about the camel?

  • Do camels live in trees in the forest?

  • - [Child] No, camels live on the ground.

  • They live in the desert.

  • - [Elmo] That's right, a camel's habitat is in the desert.

  • What about the monkey?

  • Are monkeys' habitats in the ocean?

  • - [Children] No.

  • - [Child] Monkeys don't live in the ocean.

  • - [Elmo] That's right, a monkey's habitat isn't the ocean.

  • (children laughing)

  • - [Child] He wants to go to the forest.

  • - You got it, a monkey's habitat is the forest.

  • That means the whale's habitat is the ocean.

  • Yay, it looks like they're all happy

  • to be in their own habitats.

  • And you know what? That makes Elmo wonder even more.

  • Oh, does Mr. Noodle know about habitats?

  • Let's ask him, okay?

  • Hey, Mr. Noodle.

  • (laughing) Oh, it's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle.

  • - [Elmo And Children] Hi, Mr. Noodle.

  • - Wow, looks like Mr. Noodle is somewhere really cold.

  • Mr. Noodle, do you know about habitats?

  • You do? Who lives in a really cold habitat, Mr. Noodle?

  • - [Child] Yeah, who lives there?

  • - [Elmo] Oh the elephant? Uh-oh.

  • Do elephants live where it's cold?

  • - [Child] No, elephants live where it's hot.

  • - Try again, Mr. Noodle. - Not the chicken!

  • - [Elmo] Chickens don't live where it's really cold.

  • (whimsical whistle music) - Don't give up!

  • - [Child] Show us who has a really cold habitat.

  • (upbeat whimsical music) - Yeah, penguins!

  • - (laughing) Yeah Mr. Noodle, that's it.

  • Penguins live in cold habitats.

  • (whimsical upbeat music) Wow, thank you Mr. Noodle.

  • - Ramping up to find out about ramps.

  • (bright upbeat music)

  • - [Smartie] A ramp is a sloping surface

  • that goes from high to low.

  • Ramps help make it easier to do things,

  • like moving heavy things onto a truck,

  • and they help people in wheelchairs enter buildings,

  • and go around obstacles.

  • But you can also find ramps, like this slide,

  • on playgrounds, on roads, or at home.

  • You can change the height of a ramp

  • to make things go faster or slower.

  • - Wow, you're tree-rific at yoga Elmo.

  • (Elmo laughing) Well, gotta get back

  • to my yoga, namaste Elmo. - Namaste.

  • (laughing) Boy Elmo loves doing yoga.

  • Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.

  • Oh come on, let's play a game together.

  • Yeah, come on, come on.

  • (upbeat curious music)

  • Look, these kids are practicing yoga,

  • and their yoga poses look like these animals.

  • Which animal is this boy posing like?

  • - The flamingo. - Yeah, a flamingo.

  • How about this girl?

  • - [Child] She looks like she's ready to jump.

  • - The frog. - Yeah, the froggy.

  • How about this girl, which animal is she posing like?

  • The pigeon? - No.

  • - How about the lion? - Yeah.

  • Boy, yoga's so cool, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.

  • Does Mr. Noodle know yoga? Oh, let's ask him.

  • (laughing) Hey Mr. Noodle.

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

  • Hi, Mr. Noodle.

  • Mr. Noodle, Elmo was wondering, do you practice yoga?

  • (bright whimsical music) You do?

  • Show us how you do yoga, Mr. Noodle.

  • - [Children] Yeah, show us.

  • - [Child] Mr. Noodle's playing with a yo-yo.

  • - [Elmo] That looks like fun, Mr. Noodle,

  • but that's not how you do yoga.

  • Yoga is an exercise with different poses.

  • (bright whimsical music)

  • - [Child] He's pretending to be a model.

  • - [Elmo] Very fashionable Mr. Noodle,

  • but it's not those kinds of poses.

  • In yoga, people do special poses, and deep breathing.

  • - Keep trying, Mr. Noodle. - You'll get it.

  • (whimsical bright music) - Yeah, that's it.

  • Mr. Noodle's doing yoga. - Great pose.

  • - [Elmo] Wow, keep balancing Mr. Noodle.

  • Keep balancing. (laughing)

  • Keep practicing yoga, Mr. Noodle, namaste.

  • Try again, Schmoodle.

  • What's Schmoodle going to draw?

  • (marker squeaking)

  • - [Child] It's Elmo, Schmoodle's drawing Elmo.

  • - [Smartie, Elmo And Children] We look it up.

  • - Searching for transportation.

  • There are lots of kinds of transportation.

  • Trucks, planes, bikes, and even your feet.

  • Some kinds of transportation have wings

  • and fly through the sky, like airplanes,

  • and some have sails that can travel over water,

  • like a sailboat.

  • Some kinds of transportation have wheels

  • and can travel on roads, like cars and trucks,

  • and some like trains, drive on tracks.

  • There are lots of ways to move,

  • and so many kinds of transportation.

  • But the one thing they have in common,

  • they move people and things from place to place.

  • Well, I'd better fly, bye Elmo.

  • - Bye Smartie.

  • Boy, there's so many different ways to travel.

  • (bell dinging)

  • Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.

  • Oh, let's play a game together.

  • Yeah, come on, come on.

  • (upbeat curious music)

  • Elmo wonders what kind of transportation

  • can travel across water.

  • Are you ready? Let's play.

  • Susie needs to go from one side of the water to the other.

  • Elmo wonders if we can find the right kind

  • of transportation to help get her across the water.

  • - Yeah. - We can do it.

  • - What about this? - That's a train.

  • - [Children] Choo choo.

  • - [Elmo] Can a train go on the water?

  • - No. - Trains go on tracks.

  • - [Elmo] No train ride for Susie, let's try again.

  • What about this one? - That's a boat.

  • Boats go on water, try it.

  • - [Elmo] (laughing) Yay, the boat floats.

  • Susie is riding the boat across the water.

  • We did it. - Woohoo, yay.

  • - Thanks everybody.

  • Boy, Elmo loves transportation.

  • Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.

  • When Mr. Noodle needs to go somewhere fast,

  • how does he travel?

  • Oh, let's ask him.

  • Hey, Mr. Noodle.

  • (laughing) Oh, it's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle.

  • Hi, Mr. Noodle.

  • When Mr. Noodle needs to go somewhere fast,

  • what kind of transportation does he use?

  • Show us what you use. - Yeah, show us.

  • How do you move fast?

  • (laughing) That's a pogo stick.

  • - [Elmo] A pogo stick is transportation,

  • but it would take Mr. Noodle a long time

  • to get somewhere riding that.

  • (drum riff music) Oh, are you okay?

  • Let Elmo give you a hint.

  • Try something with wheels, yeah wheels.

  • - [Child] Try again, Mr. Noodle.

  • (horn squeaking) That's too small.

  • Silly Mr. Noodle.

  • - [Elmo] It does have wheels, Mr. Noodle,

  • but it was not going very fast.

  • Something with bigger wheels would help you go faster.

  • - [Child] Sure need bigger wheels, big ones.

  • - [Elmo] Of course. (laughing)

  • - [Child] A bicycle, there you go, Mr. Noodle.

  • - Yeah, a bicycle's a great way to go somewhere fast.

  • Thank you for showing us the transportation

  • you use to go fast, and be careful.
