Chris: Oh, look who's here. Elmo: Oh, hi!
Abby: Hi.
Elmo: Welcome to Sesame Street. Abby: Guess what.
Chris is taking us to the playground. Ha ha!
Chris: You know, when I was a kid,
I used to love going to the playground.
It's fun and healthy, too.
Rudy: The playground is healthy?
Chris: Oh, definitely! Yeah.
Playing outside, all that running around.
Plus, you get to go down the slide.
Elmo: Yeah, Elmo can't wait to go down the slide. Ha ha!
Abby: Yeah, me, too.
You know what? I'm gonna climb up that ladder,
and then I'm gonna whoosh all the way down!
Elmo: Here we are.
Rudy: And there are the slides. Elmo and Abby: Yeah!
Chris: OK, everybody, have fun, get lots of exercise,
and, remember, if you need me, I'm right here.
Elmo: OK! Rudy: Thank you, Chris.
Elmo: Yeah! Rudy: OK, come on.
Let's go sliding. Elmo: Yeah!
Abby: All right. Now, which slide
do you want to go on first, the big one or the little one?
Elmo: Uh, well, Elmo really likes to go
on the little slide. It's really fun. Ha ha!
Rudy: OK, let's do it. Yeah! Abby: Yeah! Let's do this!
Elmo: Yeah! Let's do it. OK.
Rudy: All right. Here I go up the slide.
Elmo and Abby: Go, Rudy. Go, Rudy. Go, Rudy...
Rudy: OK, up, up, up.
Wait. Hold on. I like to count to 3 first.
1, 2, 3.
Whoosh!
Elmo: Ha ha! Abby: Oh, boy!
Rudy: That was awesome. Elmo: Yeah!
Abby: Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
You want to go next, Elmo? Elmo: Oh, sure. Thank you, Abby.
OK, here we go. Abby: Oh, boy.
Elmo: Up, up, up, and up. OK!
1, 2, 3. Whoosh!
Abby: Wow! Rudy: Yeah!
Elmo: Oh, that was amazing. OK, Abby's turn.
Abby: Oh, yes! Elmo: Yeah, go, Abby. Go!
Abby: Up, up. Ha ha! Elmo: Abby?
Oh, don't forget to count.
Abby: 1, 2, 3.
Whoosh! Elmo: Yeah! Ha ha! Whoo-hoo!
Oh, that was so much fun.
OK, everybody, let's go again. Abby: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Rudy: Oh, hey, look. There's a penguin on the big slide.
Penguin: Ah, ah!
Elmo: Wow!
Abby: Wow! Hey, hey! Let's go down that slide, huh?
Rudy: Good idea.
Elmo: Uh, that's OK. That's OK. Why don't you go?
Uh, Elmo's going to stay by the little slide.
Abby: Why don't you want to come with us, Elmo?
Rudy: Yeah.
Elmo, whispering: Elmo's--
Elmo's never been on the big slide before. Shh.
Rudy: Wha? But, Elmo, the big slide is so cool.
It's bigger, so it's got more whoosh.
Abby: More whoosh. Rudy: Yeah.
Elmo: That sounds pretty cool. Um, OK, sure.
Elmo will give it a try.
Rudy: Yeah! Abby: Oh, boy.
Rudy: Let's do it! Elmo: Let's do it. Sure.
Let's do it.
Abby: OK, Elmo. Watch this. Ha ha!
Elmo: OK, Elmo is watching.
Abby: See, Elmo? You go up the ladder,
just like the little slide.
Ready? Up, up, up.
Elmo: That is, uh--ha ha--
that is way up there.
Abby: 1, 2, 3. Ha!
Whoosh!
Ha ha! [Elmo chuckles weakly]
Abby: Wow! That really was a great whoosh.
Elmo: Great whoosh.
Abby: OK, you want to try now, Elmo?
Elmo: Uh, you know what? Um, maybe--maybe--maybe
we let Rudy go before Elmo.
You know, let your friends go before you. Heh heh.
It's the nice thing to do.
Rudy: Up I go. And up. Here we go.
[Grunts]
1, 2, 3.
Whoosh!
That was the best whoosh ever!
Try it, Elmo. Penguin: Mm-hmm.
Elmo: Um, OK, Elmo will try. Ha ha. Sure.
Abby: Good.
Elmo: Going up, going up, going up.
Oh.
[Trumpet plays "wah-wah" sound, Elmo gulps]
Going down, going down, going down, going down.
No, Elmo can't do it.
Abby: That's OK, Elmo.
You don't have to go down the big slide if you don't want to.
Elmo: But that's the thing. Elmo does want to.
Rudy: Well, wait. If you want to, then why don't you?
Elmo: It's like Elmo has 2 different feelings right now.
Rudy: 2 feelings at the same time?
Abby: What do you mean, Elmo?
Elmo: Well, heh, Elmo feels excited
to go whoosh down the big slide,
but Elmo also feels a little scared.
Elmo's excited and scared at the same time.
Abby: I was scared to go down the big slide
my first time, too. Rudy: Yes, I was, too.
Penguin: Ba ba.
Elmo: Really. Penguin, too?
Penguin: Ba! Ba ba ba ba ba.
Abby: Well, it's OK to be scared, Elmo.
You kind of have to wait till you feel ready
to try again.
Elmo: Hmm. Elmo wonders how he can get ready.
Penguin: Wa wa wa wa wa wa.
[Penguin inhales deeply, then exhales]
Rudy: Oh. Uh, penguin, what are you doing?
Penguin: Wa wa wa wa wa.
Abby: Yeah. Belly breathing.
That is a great idea, penguin.
Elmo, what if... [ding]
you tried belly breathing to calm you down
before the big slide?
You know. And we'll all do it with you, huh?
Elmo: Yeah, let's try.
Abby: OK. Everybody put your hands on your belly.
Rudy: OK. Abby: Right?
And then you breathe in slowly through your nose.
Rudy: OK. [All inhale deeply]
Abby: And then you breathe out through your mouth.
[All exhale]
Elmo: Hands on belly. Breathe in through the nose...
[Inhales deeply]
[Exhales] out through the mouth.
Breathe in through the nose...
[Inhales deeply]
[Exhales] out through the mouth. Hee hee!
Rudy: How do you feel now, Elmo?
Elmo: Well, Elmo feels... calmer.
[Laughter]
Rudy: Oh! Maybe you're ready for the big slide?
Elmo: Maybe. Elmo will try. Hee hee! Thanks. Hee hee!
Penguin: Wa wa wa wa wa.
Elmo: Going up, going up, going up, going up.
[Inhales deeply]
[Exhales]
Nope. Going down, going down, going down. Mm-mm.
No. Sorry. Elmo's still not ready.
Rudy: Don't worry, Elmo.
We'll think of something else you can do to get ready.
Abby: Yeah. Um, let's think. Uh...
Rudy: Um...
Oh! I got it. Abby: Hmm?
Rudy: OK. So at preschool, whenever we do something new,
we sing a song to help us get ready.
Elmo: That sounds good, Rudy. Oh, how does it go?
Rudy: ♪ I can do it, yes, I can ♪
♪ I can reach right for the sky ♪
♪ I can do it, yes, I can ♪
♪ I just have to try and try ♪
Elmo: Nice song!

♪ Elmo just has to try and try ♪
[All cheer]
Abby: Well, how do you feel now, Elmo?
Elmo: You know, Elmo thinks that the song helped.
Ooh, Elmo will try again. Hmm, going up. Ha ha!
Rudy: Yeah!
Elmo: Going up, going up, going up.
[Inhales deeply]
[Exhales]
Rudy: Hey. You're not coming down the ladder this time.
Does that mean that you're ready?
Elmo: Still not ready. [Sighs]
Elmo thinks Elmo might never be ready for the big slide.
Abby: Yes, you will, Elmo. Don't give up.
Chris: Uh, don't give up on what?
Elmo: Oh, hi, Chris. Chris: Hey.
Elmo: Elmo really wants to whoosh down this big slide,
but, you know, Elmo's a little scared.
Abby: And we tried belly breathing.
That helped a little.
Rudy: Yeah, and then singing helped a little bit more.
Abby: Yeah. Elmo: A little...
but Elmo's still not ready.
Chris: Oh, I am so sorry to hear that, buddy.
Elmo: Thanks. Chris: You know,
when I was a kid, I was a little afraid
of going down the big slide, too.
Elmo: Oh, really? Abby and Rudy: Huh?
Chris: Yeah, it's true.
But you know what helped me get over that?
Others: What?
Chris: My dad held my hand
the first time I went down the big slide.
Elmo: Really? Aw. That's nice.
Um, but--but Elmo's daddy's not here.
Chris: Well, true, but I am.
Elmo: So maybe Chris could hold Elmo's hand?
Chris: Ha ha! Of course, buddy. Elmo: Oh, thank you, Chris.
Hmm. You know, Elmo feels better already.
Chris: OK, great. Then you just let me know
when you're ready, OK? Elmo: OK. Oh. Well, hmm,
Elmo's not sure.
Rudy: Maybe if you count to 3?
[Elmo inhales deeply]
[Exhales]
1, 2, 3.
Whoosh! Ha ha!
[Cheering] Yay! Elmo did it!
Yay!
And it was the best whoosh ever.
Oh, ha ha! Thanks for helping Elmo, everybody. Ha ha!
Rudy: You're welcome. Abby: We loved it.
Chris: So how do you feel, buddy?
Elmo: Elmo's not scared anymore.
Elmo's ready to do it all by himself this time.
Come on, everybody! Let's slide. Yeah!
Abby: Ha ha! Slide! Rudy: Let's do it.
Kids: I wonder...
What if?
Let's try!
Elmo: Hi. Elmo's friends are playing at the playground.
Boy: My little sister Alice
has never gone down a slide before,
and she's feeling a little scared.
Alice: I want to do it, but I'm not quite ready.
Boy: What if Mom holds your hand the first time you go down?
Alice: That's a good idea!
Mom: OK, let me know when you're ready.

A playground is a great place to go with your friends
and make new ones.
There are lots of different things to do.
Playgrounds are a good place to try new things,
like learning how to swing all by yourself
or climbing up high.
Sometimes you have to wait your turn,
but the curvy slide is always worth the wait.
I like to pretend the bridge is a pirate ship.

Welcome to the fig orchard.
Cookie Monster: Hello, Farmer Chris.
We need figs to make figs in a blanket.
Can you help us, please?
Farmer Chris: Sure, I can help you.
Figs are a sweet and delicious type of fruit
that grow on trees.
Our fig trees grow from pieces cut from other fig trees.
We plant each piece in a pot of soil,
and a new tree grows from that piece.
Figs are ripe and ready to eat
when they're slightly soft to the touch.
We pick the figs by hand.
Those figs are then sent to grocery stores and fruit stands,
where people can buy them for an anytime snack...
or they can be used in recipes
for sauces, jams, or salads.
They can even be dried
and used to make things like cookies.
Here are some fresh figs to make figs in a blanket,
Cookie and Gonger.

Now it's time to roll them up.
This is how they become figs in a blanket. Hee hee!
