Welcome to The Not-Too-Late Show, where Elmo, our favorite red monster, hosts a fun and exciting program just for kids! In this episode, Elmo invites a special friend named Skylar to play games that are both fun and educational. These games help us learn about the seasons and how to use our memory and observation skills.
Skylar is a talented young girl who loves playing the piano. She dreams of becoming a veterinarian and an astronaut one day! Elmo and Skylar start the show with a lively song, “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes,” and everyone is invited to sing and dance along. This is a great way to get moving and have fun!
Elmo talks about the four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. Each season is special in its own way:
Skylar shares that her favorite season is summer because she loves playing outside and going on vacations!
Elmo invites a special guest, Drew Barrymore, to talk about her favorite season. Drew loves fall because of the colorful leaves and Halloween fun. This shows us that everyone has different favorites, and that’s okay!
In the first game, “Dress That Snowman,” Skylar and Drew have to dress a snowman with winter clothes. This game helps us learn what to wear when it’s cold outside. Skylar wins by picking the right clothes for winter!
Next, Keedron Bryant sings a song about summer, and we play “Musical Seek and Find.” We have to spot three summer things in the performance, like going to the beach or eating ice pops. This game helps us pay attention and learn more about summer fun!
In the last game, Skylar plays a “Video Game Challenge” where she finds differences between two pictures of scarecrows. This game helps us think carefully and notice small details. Skylar does a great job with her dad’s help!
Skylar wins the games and shows how much she knows about the seasons. The show ends with a funny chat between Ernie and Bert about packing for a winter trip. This reminds us to be ready for each season. The Not-Too-Late Show is not just fun but also teaches us about seasons, observation, and playing together. Elmo and his friends make learning exciting for everyone!
Seasonal Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or neighborhood to find items that represent each season. For example, look for a warm scarf for winter, a flower for spring, a sun hat for summer, and a colorful leaf for fall. Once you find an item for each season, draw a picture of it and share why it reminds you of that season.
Weather Dress-Up Game: Pretend you are a weather reporter! Dress up in clothes that you would wear for each season. For winter, you might wear a coat and hat; for summer, a t-shirt and shorts. Ask a family member to guess which season you are dressed for and explain why those clothes are suitable for that season.
Favorite Season Storytime: Think about your favorite season and why you love it. Write a short story or draw a picture about an adventure you would have during that season. Share your story or drawing with your class or family, and talk about what makes that season special to you.
