And ill Start Building the snow fort. Im working in writing. Were working on the script. The script is the things that the actors are going to say. Are there any new characters . Yes, were going to add a snowplow guy. I need to know, because we need to build a costume. I want to have a beard on my chin. Yes, you can. A costume is what you wear in a play. I am the snowplow man. While they were building the fort, they saw henry the snowplow guy. If he didnt have a beard, he would look like a little kid that was just driving a snowplow and that would be a little weird. Do you guys want some more snow . Sure. Student and im working on the setting group. Were supposed to decorate the stage. Everybodys talking together and helping each other out. Theyre putting together boxes so it sort of looks like ice blocks. That doesnt look like a snow fort. That looks like a big blob of marshmallow. laughing this group is the actors and actresses. Theyre going to be using all this stuff that the other people made to put the whole play together. Every job is important on the play. Thats why we need all the jobs to make it a good play. I still want to help you build a snow fort. Im sorry i didnt let you help me before. The end. cheering and now. Hi welcome to my dream house. Thanks, wilson. Isnt it cool . I have a robotic butler.

What questions . What feels colder the bathroom floor on a winter morning or snow down the back of your pants . Floor. Floor. Ive fallen in a lot of snow and had a ton in my pants. Trust me, your feet are more sensitive. I dont own pants. So, floor. That was no contest. How about a tougher match . Yeah, like who would win at hideandseek an invisible person. Or a chameleon . Helen thats almost an equal match but the invisible person is invisible. No competition. We all agree again. Who wants to tackle this one . Who would be more interesting to talk to a dog or a cat . No competition there, either. Its a cat. What . Because ive never talked to one. I have no idea what a cat thinks. Well, i can tell you what a cat thinks me, me, me, me i, i, me, me, myself. laughing were you kidding . Of course i was. Oh, that wasnt funny. You know how sensitive i am about cats. Ive got a great one. Whats more powerful a bulldozer or a dinosaur . Another easy one. Face it, we always agree on everything. Yeah, its obviously. Dinosaur. Bulldozer. Bulldozer dinosaur bulldozer dinosaur hold it. Its a tie. No, its not. Everyone hasnt voted. Uh, i dont know. You mean a match between them, like a competition . Yeah. Usually a match is a game, like a tennis match or a soccer match, where each team tries to win. This would be a match between a bulldozer and a dinosaur to see whos more powerful. Bulldozer versus dinosaur. Its so obviously. Bulldozer. Dinosaur. Come on, martha. You have to break the tie. I cant choose without seeing a dinosaur, and that cant happen, so it just has to be a tie. Td, are you going home mad . No. Im doing what any boy faced with this question would do im going to ask my dad. Hey, dad, can you help me with something . Sure, son. Can it wait a minute till i finish this . Okay. Hmm. There must be a way to prove to martha that im right. Sorry, working on my New Invention took longer than i expected. How can i help, td . I need to prove to martha that. gasps is that your invention . Yeah. The o. G. Time machine. A time machine is a perfect argument solver. Can we send a bulldozer back in time to compete with a dinosaur . No, a bulldozer would be too big to pass through the door. Aw, rats but the rightsized dinosaur could pass through. We could bring it here. We just set this calendar all the way back past vinyl records, dial phones, when movies were good to the mesozoic era, cretaceous period. Is that the mesozoic era . sniffing must be. Smell that fresh air. stomping a dinosaur. Want to come over . grunting agreeably im td. Want to meet my friends . grunts grunting did your dad have a way to settle this argument . Sure did. roaring id faint, but i dont want to miss this. roaring and moaning martha, any chance you speak dinosaur . I guess i do. She said, hi, my name is susan. No way that is named susan. growling okay, dont get all carnivorous on me, susan. So we have a dinosaur. Now all we need to settle this conflict is a bulldozer. Td thats ol smokeley, the best bulldozer in the whole city. roaring susan says shes definitely more powerful than ol stinkley. honks horn ol smokeley says, oh, yeah . Hes ready for a clash to decide who is the most powerful. You speak bulldozer . Thats amazing we have our own dinosaur and thats what amazes you . Who cares . Weve got a bulldozer and a dinosaur who are both ready to clash. What is a clash . A clash is when two people or two teams go against each other to try to win at something. Like the contest were about to see if we can figure out how to get a trex over this fence. laughs thats how. Round one in the clash of the powerful the big push. Td and truman go, ol smokeley push er back, way back cheering susan susan clash clash clash, clash, clash martha this isnt proving anything, except how to create a ditch. Looks like an equal match. Yeah. Their strength seems to be equal. Equal means theyre the same. If theyre equal how can i pick one . Ready giggling who knew that dinosaurs were ticklish . Ready for round two in the clash of the powerful the tugofwar. The bulldozer and dinosaur pull with too much force for a rope. Now what . Td they cant possibly use enough force to break a chain. Nothing could break that. Is nothing Strong Enough to withstand the force of a dinosaur and a bulldozer . I cant choose a winner. Its still a tie. honking ol smokeley says he cant play anymore. He has work to do. Td please we brought a dinosaur from 127 million years ago. Cant you take five more minutes . honking hes sorry, but he has to knock down both of those structures, clear the lot, and dig new foundations. Thats it thats what . Whats it . Whats what . grumbles the contest. Smokeley does one building and susan does the other. Whoever finishes first claims victory as the most powerful contender. Contender . Is that a kind of dinosaur . Contend means to try to win, so a contender is a person who is trying to win. Or in this case, a dinosaur or a bulldozer thats trying to win. honking, revving engine he says he has to check with his boss to see if this is allowed. According to the union bylaws, you cant do what you want to do. disappointed groans unless it involves a dinosaur from the late cretaceous period. growls happily yeah, i can see thats exactly what you are. Oh, you speak dinosaur . Oh, yeah. Ive been a Union Representative a long time. So, ol smokeley, if you want, you may be a contender in this contest. honking hell do it cheering whoever clears his or her building and digs a new Foundation First wins the clash of the powerful. On your marks. Get set. Demolish pile them on top, susan. Neatly. Were falling behind. Ol smokeleys going to win. yelling helen, look help, guys were sinking we have to help them. Hiyo, susan. roaring hey tail up tail up engine sputters our engines broken. We cant finish without repairs. Looks like victory will be yours. All you have to do is dig a hole. growling susan wont finish unless its an even match. Well, martha, thats it. You have to choose. I cant decide. I like them both. doorbell ringing success sorry, repairing that doorbell took longer than i expected. How can i help, td . I dont need help. I figured it out myself. td groaning did your dad have a way to settle our argument . No, but he asked me to return your dads chain. grunts i figured out that weve been looking at the bulldozer versus dinosaur competition all wrong. What do you mean . We dont have to choose between dinosaurs and bulldozers. If you prefer bulldozers thats no reason not to support the good work that dinosaurs do. The good work that dinosaurs do . Did. Or would do if they were here. If all of us could only cooperate like bulldozers and dinosaurs do we could build a better world together instead of just picking one or the other in a way that nobody wins. Tds right. He is . I will not break this tie. I say both are equal. Bulldozers and dinosaurs together, forever cheering chanting bulldozers and dinosaurs bulldozers and dinosaurs chant continues bulldozers and dinosaurs skits grumbling and whining i dont understand them either. But i did learn something today the answer to the question who makes more sense, dogs or people . still chanting bulldozers and dinosaurs grunting dont force it. Force is kind of like strength. Its how hard you do something. When somethings stuck you use force. What i need is even more force. Can we help . Were the force force. Force also means a group of people organized for a purpose. Were a group of people who use force the force force. Stand back. grunting dont force it. breathing heavily this door opens out. Thats the bill for our services. You didnt even open it. You cant force me to pay this. grunting force force . Little help here .

Rah, rah, rah i meant the team. Okay, you guys. We can still score. Were practically on our goal line. Yeah, but they have the ball. But ive got a topsecret weapon a lucky fourleaf clover. Td, we need a strategy not a superstition. crowd cheering yelling in pain whoa other team laughing whistle blows its a safety. both gasp thank you. chanting two points two points its a disappointing defeat for the wagstaff dogs. The final score in this match 77 to two. all sigh in disappointment youll get em next time, sweetie. Truman 77 to two . That was the worst game ever. Ronald no kidding. My grandma can play better than you guys. Does she want to join our team . No way. You guys are hopeless. What are you talking about, ronald . Youre on the team, too. Dont remind me. Carolina dont be so hard on yourselves. Its not your fault your coach called a bunch of bum plays. Uh, we dont have a coach. Tds dad was supposed to coach us, but hes allergic to our mascots. Im furry. What can i say . Too bad. I think you guys have potential. Sure, the other team had more offensive plays than you had offensive yards. Youve got no hustle. You need a bomb. And wheres your drive . Too bad about your coach. If you had someone good, i think you could win. All carolina wait hold up ¿que . What . gasps hi, tiffany. Ew, a ball. Carolina, how do you know so much about footba. How do i know so much about footbaths . Silly. I always get one with my pedicure. Look, if you guys promise never to talk to me about football in public again ill show you something. everyone gasps i am a closet football fan. sighs i used to watch it with my papi all the time until i got older. Then i had to stop. It didnt go with my carefully cultivated girlygirl image. But i know all the plays. The wishbone, the shotgun split end cross halfback draw the fullback middle run fake split end slant and go which is a really great play. You guys should totally learn that. What i wouldnt give to be on that gridiron. Well, maybe you could be. Yeah. Howd you like to coach us . Me . Coach football . No way. Please . Youd be so good. Alice with a cherry on top . chanting were number one were number one were number one bueno. It has to be in my backyard. cheering shh you cant tell anyone about this.

Maybe you could coach us after school next week. whistle blows okay, team, huddle up. When you huddle, it means you stand in a close circle, like this. Um, the reason were huddling is because we already know what huddle means. Really . Watching your game last week i would say you didnt know anything about football. Now, this is your playbook. I want these memorized before fridays big game. Pass them around. Carolina what are you doing . You said pass. In football, pass means you throw something. Yes, but in life, pass means you hand something to someone. Okay, now, lets tackle these plays. Wait sighs sorry, but in football, tackle means you knock someone down to keep the other team from scoring. I meant the other kind of tackle. Like when you try to learn to do something thats hard. Like memorize a book full of football plays . Exactamente now, first down tight end slant and go. Whoa shes got a gift. Alice, youll play defensive tackle. crash pretend this window is the goal post.

You took this ragtag team of. Clumsy. Superstitious. Really stinky ball players. And you molded them into a team. Youre the best coach weve ever had. I am the only coach youve ever had. Yes, but remember the most important thing, carolina. ¿que . What . You look supercute in plaid. 26, 39, break right, td goes deep. whispering danny this is interesting.

What an exciting match the dog defense is on fire were deep into the fourth quarter, ladies and gentlemen and the clock is ticking down. With the score at six to zero, with the wildcats in possession, things are looking bad for the dogs. Well, we gave it our best shot. Carolina tiempo time out whistle blows carolina . Huddle up. I want you to know, whatever happens in this game whether you tackle the qb, intercept their pass or totally fumble, you guys are still winners in my eyes. Its your last shot to win a game this season. I say we go big, or go home. So what will it be . All go big wildcats pass. And its an interception lateral to kennelly, and touchdown and the score is tied, six to six they dont call me td for nothing its all up to Truman Oatley now. If he lands the extra point, the dogs will win. If not. Well go into overtime. And the wildcats will score another touchdown and we lose again. whistles we won cheering go ahead, say it. I know what youre thinking. You look really cute in plaid. Did you know there are lots of football terms we use in life . For instance, in football, interception means you catch a ball thats been thrown by the other team. Danny and its an interception td but in life, we intercept things, too. Like secret notes. And food. If you intercept something thats moving, it just means you stop it. Fumble is another football word we use. Danny and its a fumble helen we fumble with buttons. Alice papers. Martha and food. Wow nice interception, skits. Did you catch all the words in todays program . If not, here are a few again. Force is kind of like strength. Its how hard you do something. Their strength seems to be equal. Equal means theyre the same. A clash is when two people or two teams go against each other to try to win at something. You blinked. I won.

Narrator on sunny, snowy days. yawning excited chattering oh . George usually got up bright and early. shouting laughing oh. But this day he discovered that bill had gotten up even brighter and earlier. Hey, george. hooting happily chatters curiously snow blocks. Im building a house out of snow. Although the correct term is igloo. hooting happily yep. Im trying to earn my sprout badge in winter camping. And to do that i have to build an igloo and sleep in it overnight. Ooh. Narrator suddenly, that was exactly what george wanted to do build an igloo and sleep in it just like bill. chatters curiously you want to help me . Uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh chatters, mimics snoring and sleep in the igloo, too . Uhhuh why not . Lets get started. hooting happily humming grunting hooting happily groans grunting george, thats not the proper technique. Guess i better show you. City kids probably dont know much about nonmortar construction. chattering nervous chuckle see, the first thing you do is mark a circle in the snow. Thats your foundation. Then you take the biggest blocks and fit them together, like this. Oh narrator bill showed george how to build up the igloo walls, block by block. Making sure that the top layer overlapped the bottom. hooting happily yep. And when were all done, we can just smooth out the inside. Ah narrator as they built it up, the igloo started to look like a volleyball cut in half. See, we keep shaping these blocks and put them all the way around until theres just a small hole left in the center. Uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh and we fill that with a large block called a keystone. You have to cram it in so itll hold the walls in place. hooting happily now ill just make a few air holes. And. Once we fill all these cracks with snow itll stay pretty warm. George oh yep, were done. Uhhuh lets go check it out. Uhhuh hooting happily george was so excited. He had never been in an igloo before. The inside of the igloo was smaller than george thought. sighs he had wanted a fun igloo. One that was big enough for a bed, and a tuba and his friends sort of like his room, only better. sighs chatters curiously you want to build your own igloo . Uhhuh sure i wish i could help you but i gotta fill up these cracks and then do my chores. chatters happily so george started on his second igloo of the day, with help from the man with the yellow cap. But this time, he built it wider. And taller. And brought in some furniture. Wow good window. Are you sure you want to spend the night in here, george . Uhhuh, uhhuh, uhhuh okeydoke. I guess its time to make the cocoa. chatters okay hey, george, hows it. . Whoa this is huge you put a bed in here . giggles uhhuh, uhhuh. And a sofa . Oh. Uhhuh. Wow. The only thing is, it might get cold at night. The bigger the igloo the colder it gets. gibbering happily george wasnt worried. He figured hed just wear his coat to bed. Bill 9 03 p. M. Barometer falling. Temperature. Holding. Good night, George George chatters good night are you warm enough . Uhhuh uhhuh. Remember, if you get cold you can always come inside. Nuhuh. All right, then. Be a good Little Monkey. hooting bye sighs, yawns narrator in the morning, george would be a good Little Monkey who had spent the night in an igloo george snoring softly two hours later, he woke up freezing. shivering wind whistling ooh maybe he should find some way to close his window. Ah uhhuh grunting whew ah uhhuh hmm. Narrator it was definitely less windy but it didnt feel any warmer. Oh. George thought hed go see how bill was doing. bill snoring softly must. Feed. Bunnies. snoring narrator bill seemed to be doing fine. He was right. A smaller igloo is a warmer igloo. Crowded, but warm. Hmm. And the cracks in bills igloo were filled with snow, which kept out the wind. Ah george had forgotten about that part. shivering it was a little cold to be doing this. And it was too big a job. Huh . chatters oh oh. George had really wanted to spend the night in an igloo. george exclaims and maybe he still could. He could build his igloo right inside the house. A smaller igloo. It was nice and warm. Whew ah george figured hed better turn down the thermostat, so his igloo wouldnt melt. grunting whew humming happily shivering its ffreezing oh i must have turned the heat down too low. Wow. The heat is off. No wonder its so cold groans yawns 7 00 the badge is mine thud ow we did it, george uhoh george . knocking oh, hi, bill. Are you sitting down . Um. No. Okay, i dont want to alarm you but george is not in his igloo. Dont worry. Hes probably upstairs in. gasps what . Oh, boy george. . yawns hi. yells hooting uh, george, why is there a melted igloo in the living room . chatters excitedly shivering uhuh. You were cold outside. chattering excitedly . So you thought youd build an igloo inside. George uhhuh. Huh. Makes sense. For a city kid. chuckles, whimpers as the sproutmaster of sprout troop number 674, i am proud to present bill with his badge in winter camping. Uhhuh oh, boy wow there. And now, george and i would like to invite you all to a little celebration. chattering tuba playing, people chatting excitedly narrator georges igloo might be too cold for sleeping, but it was just right for a party. Hey, george, got any ice for the punch . laughs laughs wow thanks. Narrator and that was the start of the monkey igloo social club. Ah . Open every weekend, until it melted in the spring. Ey and sometimes he does things you cant do. He built an igloo inside the house boy Curious George made an igloo out of ice, but were making this sort of igloo but its only made out of wood. Girl we started by making a circle of bamboo poles. Man the second thing we have to do is make the dome. The guy in the hat is my dad chris. We have to spiral this vine around here, bend it down, find one thats on the other side to create the dome shape. And then well be doing the weaving. Girl this shape is a dome. Its like that. Girl its sort of like an upsidedown basket. Were taking vines and were weaving them around. A vine is a kind of stick thats easy to bend. So were wrapping the vines around. Boy im having fun with this project because youre learning about using nature and building something that you really think is very interesting. Lets imagine were wearing space suits. Whoa oh, cool girl its a lot of fun to imagine things with elmo, being anything you want to be and going anywhere you want to go. Shape ahoy add a bunch of math. Subtraction and some silly song and dance. Elmo elmo the musical girl you get. Elmo the musical elmo the musical this is elmos story. Anything can happen.
