ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Zerby Derby ????| Get Back on Track | Zerby Pirates | This Way or Zack Way |Season 3| New Full Episodes
Hey there! Are you ready for a fun story about some cool cars called Zerbies? They love to play games and go on adventures. Let’s see what they’re up to today!
The Zerbies love playing a game called Derby Ball. It’s like a fun game of catch with a ball. But oh no! The ball fell into a hole with water in it. How can they get it out?
They think about waiting for rain to fill the hole, but that’s too slow. Then they have a great idea! They can put rocks in the hole to make the water rise and bring the ball up. Yay, it worked! Now they can play again.
While looking for rocks, Zach meets Lily, who’s on a scavenger hunt. A scavenger hunt is a game where you find different things, like rocks, leaves, and pine cones. Zach helps Lily find a pine cone, but he gets distracted and forgets to tell Rex to get rocks instead of sticks. Oops!
Later, the Zerbies find a bottle with a treasure map inside! It’s a pirate treasure map, and they decide to go on a treasure hunt. They follow the map, looking for special trees and rocks, and finally find a treasure chest. Inside is a beautiful jewel from a pirate’s tiara. What a great adventure!
Oh no, the bumpy road in Zerby Town needs fixing. Zach helps by putting up signs for a detour, which is a new path to go around the construction. He learns that too many signs can be confusing, so he tries again and makes it just right. Now everyone can find their way easily!
Wow, the Zerbies had a busy day! They learned how to solve problems, like getting the ball out of the hole and making a clear detour. They also had fun with a treasure hunt and helped each other along the way. Remember, it’s okay to make mistakes because you can always try, try again!
Thanks for joining the Zerbies on their adventures. What fun things will you do today?
Water and Rocks Experiment: Let’s try an experiment like the Zerbies did! Fill a clear container halfway with water. Drop small rocks or pebbles into the water one by one. Watch how the water level rises. Can you make the water reach the top? Talk about what happens and why the water rises. This is a fun way to see how the Zerbies got their ball out of the hole!
Scavenger Hunt Adventure: Go on your own scavenger hunt! Make a list of things to find, like a leaf, a small rock, a stick, and a flower. Go outside with a friend or family member and see how many things you can find. Just like Zach and Lily, you can help each other and have fun exploring the world around you!
Create Your Own Treasure Map: Draw a simple map of your backyard or a room in your house. Hide a small “treasure” (like a toy or a treat) and mark it on your map with an X. Give the map to a friend or family member and see if they can find the treasure. This activity helps you think about directions and how to follow a map, just like the Zerbies did!
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary repetitions, filler words, and maintaining clarity:

[Music]
Oh, there it goes! It’s okay, I got it, Rex. Ready? Jump! Here it comes, and I got it! I love Derby Ball. Watch this!
Oh wow, come on! Our Zerby Ball fell in this hole. It was a good rally, Rex. The ball is pretty far down. How do we get it out?
We could reach it if the water was higher. Maybe we can wait for it to rain again. After the water is higher, it would float near the top.
But we don’t have to wait for the rain. Why don’t we just dump something in there to raise the water level?
Okay, like what? How about sticks?
Oh yeah, I’ll go get a load of sticks.
Hmm, maybe I can get some sticks while I’m waiting. Let’s see… stick… six sticks. Okay, here’s one.
Oh, I guess we can’t use something that floats. We need to use something that sinks, something that will raise the water higher, like rocks.
Uh-oh, Rex is going to get a load of sticks. I better tell him he needs to get rocks instead.
Hi, Zach! Hi, Lily! What are you doing?
I’m on a scavenger hunt.
A scavenger hunt? What’s that?
It’s a game. Mika gave us a list of things to find in the forest, and we come back when we have one of everything. So far, I have a rock, some bark, and a leaf, but I can’t find any pine cones.
Oh, I know where there are some pine cones!
Really? Yeah, come on, follow me!
Can you carry all that stuff and a pine cone too?
I’m doing okay so far.
Yeah, you’re good at balance!
Thank you!
They’re just over here. See? Pine cones! Wow, you’re great at finding things!
Do you want to help me on my scavenger hunt?
Oh sure! Oh no, wait, I was supposed to be finding Rex. He’s out looking for sticks.
What are you talking about, Zach?
Our Derby Ball fell in a hole with water, and Rex is getting sticks to get it out. But sticks won’t work; we need rocks! I have to find him and tell him.
Oh, I’ll help you! But what about your scavenger hunt?
Oh yeah, I’ll go back to that later. I hope he hasn’t spent too much time getting sticks.
Okay, where can he be?
Oh, is that Rex whistling?
It might be… oh no, that’s not Rex; it’s a bird!
A bird? Yeah, I wonder where it is.
I don’t see it.
Maybe it’s over here… but wait, Zach, aren’t you forgetting something kind of important?
I found a bird!
See, bird, Zach?
Yeah, now there are two birds!
I’m going to name this one Hand and that one’s Charis.
What about Rex?
Oh right, I forgot!
I got distracted again. I don’t believe it! Hey, look at these leaves!
Zach, do not get distracted! Okay, we’re going to go find Rex.
Where do you think he is, Lily?
Well, let’s go back to the hole and see if he’s back there already.
Oh, I hope he didn’t waste all his time!
Okay, I got all these sticks.
Zach, where’d you go?
Rex, I found you! You gotta get rocks and not sticks!
Uh, I have a whole load of sticks.
Oh, you do? I’m sorry, I got distracted. I was supposed to tell you to get rocks instead, and now you have a full load of sticks.
That’s okay, Zach. It’s hard to remember when you get distracted by something. But did you waste all your time getting those sticks?
No, of course not! We can use these sticks for something else. Let me just dump them over here.
Okay, so what should we use instead?
I think we need to use rocks, but I’m not sure. Maybe we should try it first.
Oh, here, why don’t we try with the rock from my scavenger hunt?
Oh, it didn’t really raise the water very much. Maybe we should try it with some bigger rocks, like those ones there.
Watch this!
Whoa!
Hey, it worked! Look at that, the water level rose right up and the ball floated out!
Who wants to play Derby Ball?
Alright, I’m gonna bump it!
Okay, hey, that’s pretty good!
Okay, I’m on a breakaway!
Hey, where are you, Zerby?
Okay, hey, pass it!
Wait, it went in the water again. Does that mean I have to get another load of rocks?
No, the water level’s pretty high. It just means one of us has to go for a swim.
Oh, I’ll do it!
Okay, Lily!
Oh, okay!
Hey, watch out, Lily! You might lose your balance!
Oh, I forgot all about my scavenger hunt! I must have got distracted.
I guess it happens to everyone.
Yeah, okay, you Derby’s gotta help me out of here, and then I should finish my scavenger hunt before we play another game.
Oh, there’s a bottle, and there’s something in it. Hmm, what a great day for doing something fun!
Oh, what kind of fun thing can we do?
I don’t know, something really fun!
Hi, Goldie! What are you doing?
Something fun!
Rose, Lily, look! There’s a bottle in the lake, and there’s something in it!
Oh, let me see!
Hmm, let’s take a closer look.
Carefully… looks like some sort of paper.
Here, let me unroll it.
Hi, it looks like a map! Pictures a path to follow, and X marks the spot!
It’s a treasure map!
A treasure map indeed! My great aunt was the most famous pirate Zerby on Zerbytown Lake. This must be the map to her famous treasure!
Oh, so it’s not just a treasure map; it’s a pirate treasure map!
Indeed! You know what that means?
What?
We’re going on a treasure hunt!
We just did one thing first, me hearties! Hoist the main sail!
[Music]
I’m Rosie the Pirate! What be your pirate name, Lily?
I’m Captain Purple Bumper!
I mean, I am…
Wait, why are we talking so strangely?
Well, you gotta talk like a pirate when you have a real honest-to-goodness pirate treasure map!
Now, what be your name, matey?
Hello, I’m Goldie. I’m also a pirate!
How’s that?
Uh, needs work.
Let’s look at the map!
Okay, here we go. So how does this map work?
Well, a map gives a picture of the area around us so we can figure out where to go. That X must be the treasure!
Oh right, and the dotted line is the path we need to follow.
What are all those pictures?
Well, that one looks like the fountain in Zerbytown.
Oh yeah, it does look like the fountain! So that means that’s Zerbytown.
And then there’s this funny-looking tree here, and that’s where the path starts.
So we need to find that tree!
But we’re in a forest; there are trees everywhere!
Well, that tree looks kind of special. It’s got these big branches that stick out at the bottom.
You see?
I know a tree that looks just like that!
You do?
Yes, it’s by the Ridges Trail. I’ll show you!
[Music]
See? That’s the tree on the map!
Hey, you’re right! Wow, good work, Goldie!
That means that the trail starts somewhere around here because it starts at this tree!
We be one step closer to the treasure!
Oh, I never knew being a pirate could be so much fun!
No, it’s more like an “arrr,” but you’re getting the feel of it!
Okay, what’s next on the map?
Well, it looks like we follow a path from this tree around a turn till we find a bunch of stacked rocks.
Alright, follow the trail to the treasure!
What’s wrong?
We have to make sure to pick the right trail!
Oh, huh, I guess I got excited.
How do we know which one is the right trail?
Oh, maybe the map can tell us!
Look, the trail starts on the right side of the tree!
Oh, and goes straight away from it.
I can’t see; I’m upside down!
Well, this path behind us is the right one!
Oh, you’re right, Goldie! Follow me, scallywags!
Bring the anchor and whatnot!
Hey, let’s go, Zerby!
Oh wait, you forgot the med…
There it is! The stacked rocks! I think we found it!
Huzzah!
Wait, how do we know for sure this is it?
Yeah, we don’t want to take the wrong trail!
Well, it looks just like it does in the map: rocks with a big one across the top and a tree on the other side.
And now look at the map! See? It’s the same thing!
Uh, I can’t see; I’m upside down again!
[Music]
Do you see any circles?
No, I don’t see any circles.
We need a line of circles!
Right, well that’s what the map said. Check it again!
Yep, see? Line of circles!
Hmm, do you see any circles, Lily?
I can’t see any circles from up here.
I don’t see any circles around here.
Maybe the circles are supposed to be something.
Oh, I get it! The circles are supposed to be something like a cereal!
I don’t think it’s cereal!
How about tires?
Well, I don’t see any tires up here.
Me neither. Maybe it’s a snake or maybe rocks!
Oh! Hey, rocks! It’s this long line of rocks!
These are the circles! That means we’re almost there!
Hey, look at this! There’s a rock with an X on it!
I can’t see! Where?
It’s right there! Look! An X! X marks the spot!
This must be it! This must be the treasure!
Spinning spark plugs! Oh, it’s a treasure chest!
Lily, open it! Open it!
Oh, okay, okay! Here we go!
Whoa! Beautiful! This must be your great aunt’s treasure!
It looks like the jewel from her tiara!
Oh, put it on, Goldie!
Goldie, that looks beautiful! Are you sure I can wear it?
Well, it is your great-aunt’s treasure after all!
Well, that was the best pirate adventure I’ve had in a long time!
Our Captain Purple Bumper agrees!
Oh yes!
No, Goldie, you’re supposed to say “arrr!”
Oh, uh, we can’t use any other letters!
Well, it’s not really how it works, actually.
Um, no, I don’t think you can.
No, it’s supposed to be… I’m going to drive the bumpy road!
This is going to be the best bumpy ride!
Whoa!
Hey, Zach, why is there a big log here?
Oh, this road is closed!
What? The bumpy road?
Well, it was bumpy because it needed repairs. We’re fixing it today!
Oh, well that’s a good idea! But the rope goes right through the middle of Derby Town.
How are the other Zerbies gonna get where they’re going?
That’s why I have to set up a detour!
A detour? What’s that?
Whenever construction blocks a path, we make a new route around it called a detour, and we use road signs like these to point Zerbies in the right direction.
Oh, can I help put up the signs?
Of course! That would be a big help!
Wait!
Zach, you forgot the signs!
I need to get my roof rack! I’ll be right back!
Okay, straight! I have the signs! What do I do now?
Oh, good work, Zach! Now just put a sign down so the arrow points where the Zerbies should go: left, right, or straight.
Uh, wait, how do I point straight?
Oh, that’s easy! Just point the arrow up; that means go straight!
Okay, I’m gonna make the best detour signs ever! See you later!
Detour! Detour!
Okay, so the turn is coming up, so I should put up a sign to let Zerbies know to turn that way.
They don’t need to turn yet, but I want to make sure they know the turn is coming up!
Oh, higher, Zach!
Oh, hi, Spike! The construction Zerby said you were putting up signs for a detour around the construction zone!
Yep, and I just put up the first sign!
Oh great! I’ll follow it!
Turning here!
Wait, no! I got Spike!
Oh wow, it’s bumpy over here!
That’s a funny detour, Spike! That’s not where you’re supposed to go!
But the sign pointed this way!
Yeah, the turn was further ahead! I need to put the sign at the turn and not before; otherwise, it might be confusing!
Oh yeah, I think I was confused!
But we can try, try again!
Okay, so I changed the sign so that now it points up, which means go straight!
Does that work better?
Uh, yeah, that makes more sense! You’re supposed to go straight here!
I’m gonna wait until you get the signs finished before I try again!
Good idea, Spike!
Okay, I’ll go put up the rest of the signs!
Okay, here’s the turn! That means here is the sign with the arrow that points to the turn!
They’re gonna go this way!
Okay, so there’s another road coming up here, but that’s just a little road, and nobody goes that way, so I don’t need to put a sign there!
And now the road turns, but everybody knows it turns here, so I guess they don’t need a sign to tell them it turns because they would know it turns right!
And there we go! And then you get to the end, and that’s it!
Well, that was pretty easy! I marked the whole detour, and I guess I only used two signs!
Look at that!
Ha ha! I didn’t need to take all these extra signs after all!
[Music]
Oh, is the detour ready yet?
Oh, I think so!
Zach said give him a few minutes, and it’s definitely been a few minutes!
So, uh, I guess it’s ready!
Alright, let’s do it!
Yeah!
Alright, let’s do it!
Yeah!
It’s pointing that way! Well, I guess that means we should go that way!
Oh, alright, let’s go!
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
Oh, there’s another turn coming up!
Okay!
Oh, I don’t see any signs, though! Which way should we go?
Oh, I don’t know!
Uh, let’s take the turn!
[Music]
I wonder where this trail goes!
Hey, where is everybody?
Zerbies!
Well, where did the road go?
Oh yeah, Zerbies! What are you doing down there? That’s not the way!
Well, there was no sign saying which way to go!
Yeah, so we just took the turn!
Oh, sorry, Zerbies! That’s my fault! I guess I need to use more signs!
Well, that’s okay, Zach! As long as there’s enough signs, then we won’t get confused!
Yeah, you go back and add some more signs, Zach, and then we’ll get out of here and we’ll try, try again!
Yeah, okay! Give me a couple minutes, and I’ll put up all the signs that you’ll ever need to know which way the detour is!
Okay!
Okay!
Okay!
Okay!
Straight, straight, straight, straight, straight, straight!
And this one warns you to turn!
This is coming up, and that one warns you that that’s where the turn was!
And this is if they’re going either way!
And then straight!
And this one points to the trail that’s in between them, so they’re both pointing at the trail so you know to go between the signs!
Except I’m out of signs!
I’ll just get some more!
Okay, the sign says go right!
Yeah!
I gotta say go straight!
Let’s go left!
Okay, I’m going left!
Okay, no! They say go everywhere, so we need to go every direction!
So maybe too many signs is just as confusing!
Okay, Zerbies, go back to the start of the detour while I fix these signs!
Oh, it’s time to try, try again!
Okay, I’m gonna mark every turn and only use the right number of signs!
So first they should go this way!
Great!
And then I gotta put one here that goes that way!
And then there!
And a couple going straight!
And then a turn!
And then this one goes straight!
This time I mark every single turn clearly with just one arrow sign so no one will get lost or confused!
And now to let the other Zerbies know that they can start to detour!
Oh, that’s Zach’s horn!
Alright, the detour’s ready!
I sure hope it works this time!
Yeah, me too! I don’t want to end up upside down like last time!
Yeah!
Okay, where do we go now?
Oh wait, I see the sign!
Here it is!
Oh, it’s working!
Yeah!
Another sign’s coming up, Zerbies! This way!
Hey, yeah! Which way?
Great detour, Zach!
We knew you could do it!
Yeah, way to go, Zach!
No problem, Zerbies! I’m glad you enjoyed the ride!
Oh, Spike, you’re almighty! Did one of my signs point you in
