One sunny day, Zach and Rex were thinking about what fun things they could do. Zach had a great idea. “Do you want to go to the sand pit?” he asked Rex. “Sure, that sounds like a great idea!” Rex replied. So, off they went, racing each other to the sand pit.
When they got there, they saw a big log. “Look at me, Rex! I’m on top of the log!” Zach said excitedly. Rex wanted to try too. “Do you think we can drive over it?” he asked. They both tried, but the log was too big for Rex. Zach decided to help by giving Rex a little boost. “Thanks, Zach!” Rex said happily.
They found an even bigger log and wanted to climb on top of it. “We could build something to get on top of it, like a ramp!” Zach suggested. “Great idea!” Rex agreed. They decided to use sand to build the ramp, but they needed help. Zach called Chase and Strut to help them.
Strut helped by scooping and lifting the sand to make the ramp. But the sand kept falling down. “We need to make it bigger!” Zach said. They worked hard, moving lots of sand until the ramp was tall enough to reach the top of the log.
When Zach tried to drive up the ramp, his wheels kept slipping. “The sand is too soft,” he said. Walter had a great idea. “When the sand is wet, it’s easier to drive on,” he said. So, they got the ramp wet, and it worked! Zach was able to drive up the ramp without slipping.
From the top of the log, Zach could see the whole sand pit. “Come on up, Rex!” he called. Rex joined him, and they both enjoyed the view. But then they wondered how to get down. “We need another ramp!” they realized.
Later, Zach and his friends helped each other with different tasks. Chase helped Bob find his lost orange ball, and Zach helped Lily find her way on a trail. They learned that working together and helping each other makes everything easier and more fun!
Chase, who could fly, showed Zach how to see everything from up high. “If I’m really high up, I can see the whole forest!” Chase said. Zach thought that was amazing and decided to keep an eye on everything from the sky.
And that’s how Zach, Rex, and their friends had a fun day full of adventure and teamwork in the sand pit!
Build Your Own Ramp: Gather some small toys or toy cars and a variety of materials like sand, small blocks, or cardboard. Work together to build a ramp that your toys can go up. Try different materials and see which ones work best. Ask yourself, “What makes the ramp strong and easy to climb?” and “How can we make it even better?”
Teamwork Challenge: Pair up with a friend and choose a simple task, like building a small sandcastle or stacking blocks. Work together and see how quickly you can complete the task. Talk about how working together made the task easier or more fun. Ask, “What did my friend do that helped us succeed?”
Observe and Explore: Next time you are at the playground or in a sandbox, look around and see what you can build or climb on. Think about how you can use the things around you to create something new. Ask yourself, “What can I use to make a ramp or a bridge?” and “How can I help my friends with their ideas?”

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!”
Zach: “Alright, I’ll race you there!”
Rex: “Tag! Oh, I’m it! I’ll get you!”
Zach: “Wow, Max, look at it! It’s huge! I love the sand! Let’s play!”
Rex: “Come on, let’s play in the sand!”
Zach: “Are you going over there?”
Rex: “Hey, let’s go over here! Wait for me, Rex!”
Rex: “Okay! Oh, 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 Zerbies? 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!”
Rex: “But we might need help. Zach, can you call Chase?”
Zach: “Chase, come in!”
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 them 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 and make it into a ramp.”
Strut: “Let’s build!”
Zach: “Scoop, lift! Okay, Strut, release!”
Strut: “Thank you! Backing up… well done, Rex!”
Zach: “Lift! Alright, more sand! Release!”
Strut: “Good! Lift more!”
Zach: “Okay, release! Perfect! You guys are really good at this!”
Strut: “It isn’t staying together very well.”
Zach: “Let me try. We just need to shape this part here.”
Rex: “It’s not working.”
Zach: “You’re right. No matter how we try to shape it, the sand just keeps falling back down.”
Rex: “Well then, we need to try again. If we can’t change the shape, we have to make it big enough to reach the top of the log on its own.”
Zach: “More sand! Good thing it’s so fun to move. This is turning into a really big job.”
Rex: “Big jobs are what we big Zerbies are made for!”
Strut: “Alright, one more load should do it!”
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!”
Zach: “My tires just kept spinning. I think this sand is too soft to drive up.”
Rex: “We have to find some way to make the ramp stronger.”
Zach: “Let’s look around and see if we can find something that will help us.”
Rex: “Good idea! Let’s go!”
Zach: “Oh, pine tree! Too tall, too skinny. No time to move on.”
Rex: “Do you have any idea?”
Zach: “Hey, it’s Walter and Jake!”
Walter: “Hi, Zach! What are you doing?”
Zach: “We built a ramp! It’s by the log. It’s really cool!”
Walter: “Oh, that gives me an idea! When the sand is wet, it’s a lot easier to drive on.”
Zach: “That’s it! Come on, Walter, follow me!”
Walter: “Okay, where are we going?”
Zach: “We’re going to fix our ramp by getting it wet. Water will make it stronger!”
Walter: “I can do that! Stand back!”
Zach: “Here comes the water! Get the whole thing wet!”
Walter: “There we go! That’s one wet ramp!”
Zach: “I’m going to go try it out!”
Rex: “You can do it!”
Zach: “It’s holding together! My wheels aren’t slipping! I did it!”
Rex: “Way to go! The water worked fantastic!”
Zach: “I can see the whole sand pit from up here! Come on up, Rex!”
Rex: “Alright, on my way! This is going to be fun!”
Zach: “Take it easy, Rex! Here we go!”
Rex: “It’s great up here! This is fun!”
Zach: “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.”
Rex: “We need another ramp! We should have thought of this before!”
Zach: “Woohoo! Hey, Ray! Hey, Annie!”
Ray: “Hi, guys! Nice to see you!”
Annie: “It’s a beautiful day to be in the sky!”
Zach: “Hey, Chase! That project is looking good!”
Chase: “See you later!”
Zach: “Does that trail go up there, or is that just rocks? I wonder.”
Rex: “Well, there’s one way to find out!”
Zach: “Wait! If I drive up there and it isn’t the trail, I might not know where to go. I better call Chase.”
Lily: “Chase, come in!”
Chase: “This is Chase. What do you need?”
Lily: “Can you come and help? I need to know something about a trail I’m on.”
Chase: “I’ll meet you by the path.”
Lily: “I’m on my way!”
Chase: “Hi, Chase! See that rocky hill behind me?”
Chase: “Yep, I see it. If I climb up there, are there more trails I can follow?”
Chase: “You’ve got it! I’ll let you know.”
Lily: “Thanks!”
Chase: “Up, up, up we go!”
Lily: “Yep, there’s a trail up here!”
Chase: “Alright, you can keep going if you get up here!”
Lily: “Woohoo! Thanks, Chase!”
Zach: “Chase, come here! Can you help me?”
Chase: “I’m on my way!”
Zach: “Well, hey, Bob! What’s the problem?”
Bob: “I lost my orange ball. Could you help?”
Chase: “You bet! Let me have a look.”
Bob: “I don’t see it over here.”
Chase: “Oh, wait! Yes, I see it! It’s over here in the weeds.”
Bob: “Thanks, Chase! You’re the best!”
Chase: “Anytime, Bob! I’m coming!”
Zach: “Chase, this is Zach. What do you need?”
Zach: “I’m on a trail and I forget which way is out. Can you come and show me?”
Chase: “Okay, I’m coming. Just sit tight!”
Zach: “Hi, Chase! Which way do I go?”
Chase: “Oh, it’s this way! Come on!”
Zach: “Oh, over here!”
Chase: “You got it! There you go!”
Zach: “Okay, thanks!”
Chase: “No problem! You sound tired.”
Zach: “Well, I love flying around and keeping track of Zerbies when they need help, but I’ve been going full speed all day. I need a nap.”
Zach: “I wish I could help.”
Chase: “That’s a great idea! You should help!”
Zach: “That’s not what I meant, Chase.”
Chase: “Okay, see you later!”
Zach: “This is Zach. Bob, I’m helping Chase today. I’ll be right there!”
Bob: “I didn’t know you could fly!”
Zach: “Okay, let’s see… Oh, hey, Bob! What do you need help with?”
Bob: “I lost my orange ball again. Chase could usually see it from the sky.”
Zach: “I’ll look for it! But how are you going to see from up high like Chase?”
Bob: “I can fly just like Chase! When I do a jump, I’ll get my life jacket.”
Zach: “Okay, I got my life jacket on. Are you watching, Bob?”
Bob: “Yep, I’m watching!”
Zach: “Alright, ready, set, turbo!”
Bob: “I don’t see it.”
Zach: “Did you see it?”
Bob: “No. Do you want to push back to shore?”
Zach: “Yes, please!”
Bob: “Okay, just push me from… yeah, can you just… that’s good!”
Zach: “I can’t! All I can do is tire paddle.”
Bob: “I got you! Good! There you go!”
Zach: “I guess I didn’t do as good a job as Chase would have.”
Bob: “It’s okay, Zach. I’m sure you could still help somehow.”
Lily: “Zach, come in! This is Zach.”
Zach: “Go ahead, Lily.”
Lily: “Are you really helping Chase today? If so, I need your help.”
Zach: “I’m on my way, just as soon as I get dried off!”
Lily: “Hello, Lily! I’m here!”
Zach: “Lily, I’m up here!”
Lily: “What do you need?”
Zach: “I need to know where the trail is to get down.”
Lily: “Okay, I can help! I’ll come up!”
Zach: “I can’t seem to get up there!”
Lily: “No, you have to go around! That’s how I got up!”
Zach: “Okay, I think I see it! There are rocks and stuff.”
Lily: “Yep, okay! I’m coming up!”
Zach: “Lily, do you see it?”
Lily: “I think I see it! Hang on, I’ll be right there!”
Zach: “Oh, I’m dizzy now! Okay, I’m up! I made it!”
Lily: “Good job, Zach! Great! Now how do we get back down?”
Zach: “Easy! We just take the rocks down.”
Lily: “Which rocks?”
Zach: “Oh, I can’t see the trail from here. I’ll have to call Chase to help.”
Zach: “Chase, come in! I need you to help me and Lily find our way off this hill.”
Chase: “I’m on my way!”
Zach: “Oh, I see him! Come on! Where?”
Lily: “I don’t see him!”
Zach: “Not yet! I don’t see him!”
Lily: “Right there! Can you see him in the sky?”
Zach: “Oh, there he is! Hi, Chase!”
Chase: “I’m sorry to wake you, but I can’t do what you can do.”
Zach: “It’s okay! We can always try again.”
Chase: “What wasn’t working for you, Zach?”
Zach: “Well, you can see from much higher up. It makes things easier to see.”
Chase: “Wait, that’s it!”
Zach: “How high do you normally fly, Chase?”
Chase: “I’d say from about here.”
Zach: “Well, try going higher!”
Chase: “Okay! Can you see even more from up there?”
Chase: “I can! I can see the whole forest! And look, there’s Zerby Town!”
Zach: “I don’t get it.”
Chase: “Well, you see, if I’m really high up, I don’t need to go far to see everything.”
Zach: “It’s true! I can see Bob from way up here now! I can watch everything! If anybody needs me, I’ll be in the sky!”
