One sunny day, Zach and his friends were ready for some fun! Zach asked Rex, “What do you want to do today?” Rex thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go to the sand pit!” Zach loved the idea and said, “I’ll race you there!”
When they got to the sand pit, Rex and Zach saw a big log. Rex said, “Look at me! I’m on top of the log!” Zach wanted to try too. They both had fun climbing and playing on the log.
Zach and Rex wanted to drive over an even bigger log, but it was too tall. Zach had a great idea! “Let’s build a ramp with sand!” They called their friend Strut to help. Together, they piled up sand to make a ramp.
But the sand kept falling down. Rex said, “Let’s make it bigger!” They worked hard and finally made a ramp that reached the top of the log.
When Zach tried to drive up the ramp, his wheels slipped. The sand was too soft! Walter, another friend, said, “Wet sand is easier to drive on.” So, they added water to the sand, and it worked! Zach drove up the ramp easily.
After their ramp adventure, Zach and Rex found a trail. They needed help to find their way, so they called Chase. Chase helped them find the right path, and they were so happy!
Zach loved helping his friends. He helped Bob find his lost orange ball and showed Lily the way down a trail. Zach was always ready to lend a hand!
Later, Zach met Axel, who was excited about a race. Axel joined the construction Zerby race and had a blast! Everyone cheered for Axel as he raced with all his might.
At the end of the day, Zach and his friends were tired but happy. They had fun playing, building, and helping each other. Zach said, “Great job, everyone! Let’s have more adventures tomorrow!”
Build Your Own Ramp: Gather some sand, small toy cars, and a container of water. Try building a ramp like Zach and Rex did. Experiment with dry sand first, then add water to see how it changes the ramp’s strength. Can you make a ramp that your toy car can drive up? Talk about why wet sand might work better than dry sand.
Log Balancing Act: Find a safe log or a sturdy piece of wood in your backyard or local park. Try balancing on it like Rex and Zach. How does it feel to be on top of the log? Can you walk across it without falling? Discuss what helps you keep your balance and how you can improve it.
Helping Hands Adventure: Think of a way you can help a friend or family member today, just like Zach helped his friends. Maybe you can help someone find a lost toy or show them how to do something new. Share your experience with the class: How did it feel to help someone? What did you learn from the experience?

[Music]
Dan: “Look at me! I am alright. That was fun! So, what do you want to do today, Rex?”
Rex: “I don’t know, Zach. What do you want to do?”
Zach: “Um, do you want to go to the sand pit?”
Rex: “Sure, that sounds like a great idea! Alright, I’ll race you there!”
Zach: “Oh, I’m it! I’ll get you!”
Rex: “Wow, Max, look at it! It’s huge! I love the sand! Let’s play!”
Zach: “Come on, let’s play in the sand! I love it!”
Rex: “Hey, let’s go over here!”
Zach: “Wait for me, Rex!”
Rex: “Hey, look! A log! Watch this, I’m going to get right up on top of this log!”
Zach: “Look at me, Rex! I’m on top of the log!”
Rex: “Oh, let me try! Do you think we can drive over it?”
Zach: “Okay, you go first!”
Rex: “Woohoo! Alright, wait for me!”
Zach: “Hey, look! An even bigger log!”
Rex: “Yeah, let’s drive over it!”
Zach: “Okay, let’s go!”
Rex: “Oh, that log’s too big for me! I’m stuck!”
Zach: “I know! I’ll give you a little boost!”
Rex: “Thanks, Rex! Let’s go!”
Zach: “Oh, look at the size of that log! Wouldn’t it be great if we could drive on top of that one?”
Rex: “But it’s too big, right?”
Zach: “But where’s Strut? We could build something to get on top of it, like a ramp!”
Rex: “Great idea! But what can we use in the sand pit to make a ramp with?”
Zach: “Oh yeah, sand! But we might need help. Uh, Zach to Chase, come in Chase!”
Chase: “Hello, Zach! What’s up?”
Zach: “Rex and I are at the sand pit. Can you get Strut to meet us there?”
Chase: “You bet! I’ll go tell him right now.”
Strut: “I heard you guys needed my help! Are we building something?”
Zach: “Yeah! We want to get to the top of this log, so we’re going to pile a bunch of sand right here and make it into a ramp!”
Strut: “Let’s build!”
[Building sounds]
Strut: “Wow, more sand! Good job, everyone!”
Zach: “It’s not staying together very well.”
Strut: “Let me try! We just need to shape this part here.”
Zach: “It’s not working. No matter how we try to shape it, the sand just keeps falling back down.”
Rex: “Then we need to try again! If we can’t change the shape of this sand pile, then we have to make it big enough to reach the top of the log on its own.”
[More building sounds]
Zach: “Good thing it’s so fun to move! This is turning into a really big job.”
Strut: “Big jobs are what we big Zerbies are made for!”
[More building sounds]
Zach: “Yeah, we did it! It’s all the way to the top now!”
Rex: “Alright, let’s get on top of that log!”
Zach: “Okay, I’m going to give you a little boost!”
Rex: “Almost… so close! Good try, Zach! My tires just kept spinning. I think this sand is too soft to drive up.”
Zach: “We have to find some way to make the ramp stronger. Let’s look around and see if we can find something that will help us.”
Rex: “Good idea! Let’s go!”
[Searching sounds]
Zach: “Oh, a pine tree! Too tall, too skinny. No time to move on.”
Rex: “Hey, it’s Walter and Jake!”
Walter: “Hi, guys! What are you doing?”
Zach: “We’re building a ramp by the log.”
Walter: “Oh, when the sand is wet, it’s a lot easier to drive on.”
Zach: “That gives me an idea! Come on, Walter, follow me!”
[Water sounds]
Walter: “Alright, here comes the water!”
Zach: “Wow, that’s one wet ramp! I’m going to go try it out!”
[Driving sounds]
Zach: “It’s holding together! My wheels aren’t slipping! I did it!”
Rex: “Wow, it’s great up here! This is fun!”
Zach: “Okay, go this way! What’s over there?”
Rex: “Oh, it’s the other end of the log. How do we get down?”
Zach: “Um, I guess we build another ramp!”
Strut: “Another ramp? We should have thought of this before!”
[More building sounds]
Zach: “Hey, look! There’s a trail up there!”
[Scene transitions to a new location]
Chase: “What do you need, Zach?”
Zach: “I’m on a trail and I forget which way is out. Can you come and show me?”
Chase: “I’m coming! Just sit tight!”
[More sounds of movement]
Zach: “Thanks, Chase! You sound tired.”
Chase: “I’ve been going full speed all day. I need a nap.”
Zach: “That’s a great idea! You should help!”
[Scene transitions to another location]
Zach: “Hey, Bob! What do you need help with?”
Bob: “I lost my orange ball again.”
Zach: “I’ll look for it!”

Bob: “Thanks, Chase! You’re the best!”
[Scene transitions to another location]
Zach: “Lily, I’m here! What do you need?”
Lily: “I need to know where the trail is to get down.”
Zach: “Okay, I can help!”
[More sounds of movement]
Zach: “I made it! Great job, Zach!”
Lily: “Now how do we get back down?”
Zach: “Easy! We just take the rocks down.”
[Scene transitions to another location]
Zach: “Chase, I need you to help me and Lily find our way off this hill.”
Chase: “I’m on my way!”
[More sounds of movement]
Zach: “Thanks, Chase! I can’t do what you can do.”
Chase: “It’s okay! We can always try again.”
[Scene transitions to another location]
Zach: “Hey, Axel! You’re moving fast this morning!”
Axel: “It’s a beautiful day! Where is everyone?”
Zach: “They’re all at the construction Zerby race. I’m headed there myself!”
Axel: “Can I join in?”
Zach: “Well, maybe they’ll let you race if you only use three wheels or something.”
[Scene transitions to the race]
Axel: “Ready, set, turbo!”
[Sounds of racing]
Zach: “Axel, you can’t win without your logs!”
Axel: “Okay, I’ll just have to try again!”
[More racing sounds]
