In the lesson “Adventure on the Obstacle Trail,” Lily and her friends embark on an exciting journey through a forest trail filled with obstacles, where they learn the value of teamwork and creativity by successfully navigating the trail backwards. Meanwhile, at Zerby Town Airport, the Zerbies demonstrate problem-solving skills as they work together to secure a windsock, highlighting the importance of persistence and collaboration. The lesson concludes with Axel’s friends rescuing him from a gorge, reinforcing the idea that teamwork and innovative thinking can overcome challenges.
  1. What did Lily and her friends learn about working together on the obstacle trail?
  2. How did the Zerbies solve the problem with the windsock?
  3. Why was it important for Axel’s friends to help him out of the gorge?

Adventure on the Obstacle Trail

One sunny day, Lily and her friends found a special trail in the forest. This trail was full of fun obstacles like big rocks, giant trees, and logs to go under. Lily was excited to show her friends how to navigate through the trail.

Exploring the Trail

“Hurry up! Follow me!” Lily called out. Her friends were curious and followed her closely. They had to dodge roots, go around a giant tree, and make sharp turns. It was like a big adventure playground!

Trying Something New

After they finished the trail, Lily had a fun idea. “Let’s try doing it backwards!” she said. Her friends were excited but a bit nervous because they wouldn’t be able to see where they were going. They decided to remember the obstacles in reverse order to help them.

Remembering the Obstacles

To make it easier, they split the obstacles between them. One friend remembered the first three obstacles, and the other remembered the last three. They practiced saying them in order: “Log, straight, turn, tree, rock, roots.”

Success!

With teamwork and practice, they managed to complete the trail backwards! They were so proud of themselves and thought it would be fun to invite more friends to try it too.

Building a Windsock at the Airport

Meanwhile, at Zerby Town Airport, the Zerbies were busy setting up a windsock. A windsock is a special tool that shows which way the wind is blowing. It’s important for flying Zerbies to know this so they can land safely.

Making It Work

At first, the windsock kept falling over because the wind was too strong. The Zerbies tried different ideas to keep it standing. They finally decided to stick the pole in the ground, which worked perfectly!

Learning from Mistakes

Even though it took a few tries, the Zerbies learned that sometimes you need to try different solutions to solve a problem. They were happy to see the windsock fluttering in the wind, helping their flying friends land safely.

Helping a Friend in Need

Elsewhere, Axel, a speedy Zerby, found himself stuck in a gorge. His friends Zack and Rex wanted to help him out. They decided to use a dock as a ramp to pull Axel out.

Teamwork Saves the Day

At first, their plan didn’t work because the dock was too steep. But with the help of their friend Strut, they used a hook and a branch to lift Axel and the dock straight up. This way, Axel could safely get out of the gorge.

Celebrating Success

Axel was grateful for his friends’ help. They all learned that working together and trying different ideas can solve tricky problems. It was a great day in Zerby Town, full of fun, learning, and friendship!

  1. Have you ever been on an adventure or a trail like Lily and her friends? What was it like, and what did you find along the way?
  2. When the Zerbies were trying to set up the windsock, they had to try different ideas to make it work. Can you think of a time when you had to try different solutions to solve a problem? What did you learn from it?
  3. Axel’s friends helped him when he was stuck. Can you share a time when you helped a friend or when a friend helped you? How did it make you feel?
  1. Obstacle Trail Adventure at Home: Create your own obstacle trail at home or in the backyard using pillows, chairs, and blankets. Ask your child to navigate through it, just like Lily and her friends did. Once they complete it, challenge them to do it backwards! Encourage them to remember the order of obstacles and see if they can guide a family member through the trail.

  2. Wind Direction Experiment: Make a simple windsock using a paper towel roll and some streamers or ribbons. Hang it outside and observe how it moves with the wind. Ask your child to notice which direction the wind is blowing and discuss why this might be important for flying objects, just like the Zerbies at the airport.

  3. Teamwork Challenge: Set up a small problem-solving activity where your child needs to work with a sibling or friend to move a toy from one place to another using only a few items like a spoon, string, or a small box. Encourage them to try different solutions and discuss what worked best, similar to how Axel’s friends helped him out of the gorge.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary repetitions and maintaining clarity:

[Music]
Hurry up! Where are we going, Lily?
It’s just up here. Come on!
Here it is!
Huh? Where?
I found this trail that has all kinds of fun obstacles on it.
Oh, that sounds cool! Let’s do it!
Yeah, you follow me, and I’ll show you where to go.
Okay, you got it!
All right, hang on to your hubcaps! Ready, set, turbo!
[Music]
This way! Okay, where am I going?
Hide these roots!
Okay, find the roots and then go beside this big rock.
Beside the rock?
Yeah, fun! And then around this giant tree.
Oh, that is a big tree!
Around the tree and then a sharp turn.
Well, I missed it.
Oh, okay, turn!
Okay, I got it! And then go straight here.
Going straight to this… straight and then under the log.
Hey, we did it!
That was fun! Yay!
Should we drive back to the top?
No, let’s start here and drive back to the beginning. That way we’re doing it backwards.
Oh, you want to do it backwards?
No, no, I mean we should…
Whoa, Lily! We should drive it backwards!
Drive backwards? Wow, that would be fun!
But we won’t be able to see very well. We’ll need to remember where to go.
Oh, we can do it! Come on, let’s try!
Okay, all right, you ready?
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Okay, ready, set… Oh, no, no, no! Wait! We should say that backwards too!
Oh, fine!
Okay, uh… turbo set!
I know what we did wrong.
What?
We were thinking about what obstacle came next. We have to remember so we know where to drive.
Oh, right! Because we can’t see where we’re going, so we need to remember all the obstacles.
Yeah, but we need to remember them in reverse order.
Oh, yeah!
Okay, come on, let’s try again!
Okay!
We have to remember all the obstacles on the trail so we can do it again without looking.
But I don’t think I remember them all.
Yeah, me neither.
Well, why don’t we try to remember together?
Oh, okay, good!
First, it was the roots.
Yeah, between the roots.
And then we went beside the rock.
Beside the rock, right!
And then around the giant tree.
That was a giant tree!
And then I was supposed to turn, but then I ran into the branch.
Yeah, sharp turn!
Sharp turns!
And then we went straight, right?
We went straight!
And then under the log.
Under the log! Hey, we did it!
Well, that was easy!
But wait! Now we have to remember them all in reverse order.
Oh, yeah! How does that go?
All right, we’ll remember together!
Okay!
So under the log…
Uh-huh!
And then go straight…
And then sharp turn…
Where I hit the branch!
Right!
And then the tree!
Yeah, yeah!
And then beside the rock!
Right!
And then between the roots!
Yeah!
It still seems like a lot.
Well, let’s go over it again!
Okay!
Log, straight, turn, tree, rock, roots…
Log, straight…
Oh!
It was sharp turn!
I forgot, Lily!
Whoa!
Oh, yeah! The sharp turn with the leaves!
I forgot!
I don’t really think that worked. There were so many obstacles, I kind of forgot the order.
Yeah, I kind of forgot the order too.
I don’t know, doing everything backwards is really hard.
Don’t worry! We can do it! There’s got to be a way to remember all the obstacles in order. We just have to try again!
Okay, but what can we do differently this time?
Um, maybe we can make a song out of the obstacles we have to remember.
It’s easier!
Um, under the log, and then go straight, and sharp turn, and tree, rock, and roots…
It doesn’t really rhyme.
Oh, I know! What if you remember the first three obstacles and I’ll remember the last three? That way each of us only has to remember three things!
Oh, okay! So I’ll remember the log, going straight, and a sharp turn.
And I’ll remember the giant tree, the big rock, and between the roots.
I think that could really work! Let’s go back to the finish line and try it out!
Starting again!
I have a good feeling about this!
Me too!
Do you remember your three obstacles?
Easy! Log, straight, turn!
And I’ll remember around the giant tree, beside the big rock, and between the roots.
Okay, are you ready? Turbo set!
Ready!
Under the log and then go straight!
Go, go!
Yeah, sharp turn, Lily!
Sharp!
Yeah!
[Music]
Okay, your turn, Lily!
Okay, around the giant tree!
You’re on the tree! Yep! What’s next, Lily?
Beside the rock!
Beside the rock!
Yep!
Yeah! And then between the roots!
Keep going! Between the roots!
Yeah!
We totally did it! We remembered everything!
Yeah, we’re awesome!
That was so fun! I bet Axel would like to try it!
Actually, all the racers and trucks would! And we could time it to see who could do it the fastest!
Oh, and we could get Dottie the drone to film it from the air!
I think we invented a new game! Let’s go back to Zerby Town and tell everyone!
Come on, Zack!
Wait, wait, wait!
What?
We should drive backwards in every town!
That’s a great idea!
You know what? We should have an entire backwards day in Zerby Town!
Oh, I love that! The construction Zerbies could deconstruct something!
Yeah, yeah! And instead of charging our batteries, we could drain them!
Oh, I guess that wouldn’t really work. But anyway, how about a backwards parade?
Oh, now that sounds fun!
Yeah! And your name would be… Eel!
[Music]
It’s a great day to be a Zerby!
Hello, Zerby Town Airport!
Hello, Airport Control Tower!
Hello, Airport Landing Pad!
Wait a minute, what was that?
Uh, hi, Derbies!
Hello, Zack!
Hi, Zack! What is that?
It’s a windsock!
Uh, what? I still don’t understand why the wind would need a sock.
Oh, it’ll all make sense as soon as we get it standing up!
Oh, can I help?
Yes, you can hold the bottom of the pole steady while I lift it up!
Oh, sure!
What, so just put my wheel on it like this?
Yep!
All right, Zerbies, ready? Turbo lifting!
Oh, I got it! I’m holding it!
Slowly! Careful, Derby!
Okay, look! A good stretch! Keep going! A little higher!
Oh, it’s looking good! Almost there!
Oh no, we didn’t!
Yeah, so what’s this for again?
Okay, so you see the orange fabric?
Yeah?
Well, that is the windsock! When the wind blows, it fills with air and flutters in the breeze. Just by looking at it, you can tell how much wind there is and what direction the wind is coming from.
Oh, yeah! Look at that! It helps us flying Zerbies know how to land safely!
Look at it flutter in the breeze!
Look at it!
Oh, we’re not going to happen! The wind dropped on my face!
Oh no! The wind must have blown it over!
Looks like those rocks weren’t enough to keep it standing in the wind.
It’s okay! We can try again, right?
Oh, okay! Yes! But how can we make sure the pole doesn’t fall down?
Well, what can we change?
Why don’t we attach the windsock pole to something really solid so it won’t fall over?
Like what?
Oh, how about the control tower?
Oh yes! That seems pretty solid!
Yeah! Oh, good idea!
Yeah, yeah! Let’s do it!
Right! Follow me, Zerbies!
All right, since we’re at the airport…
What stinky and flies?
I don’t know, Dottie!
Yeah, I don’t know either!
What stinky?
It implies a smell!
All right, wrap the rope around the windsock pole and against the tower so it won’t fall down!
All right, here I go!
Hold on to the pole back!
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
Oh, okay, go ahead!
Yeah, yeah, I got it! Once we’re finished, this pole won’t move at all!
Yeah! Do you have enough rope?
Of course! We’ll need a pretty big wind to knock this pole over!
Yeah, it’s gonna be so solid!
Around and around and around!
There! How’s that?
That’s great! The pole isn’t going anywhere now!
Yeah! Great work, Stretch! Now we just need some wind to be sure!
Oh, look! Look! The wind is blowing again!
Is it working? Is it staying still?
It sure is! All right, we did it!
Yeah!
Dottie, I think we need to try again!
Uh, why?
The pole is standing up in the air just like we wanted, and it’s not moving at all!
Yes!
Yeah, yeah! But neither is the windsock!
Oh, yeah!
Get the dirty trap!
Well, why isn’t it filling with air?
Well, sometimes when I want a break from flying in the wind, I hover behind a building because the building blocks the wind.
Oh, so I guess the control tower is blocking the wind from the windsock, which is right up against it.
Oh, that does make sense! So maybe the pole needs to be out in the open so the wind can get to the windsock from all sides!
You’re right, Dottie! I guess we need to try again!
Hmm…
Oh, spinning spark plugs! We’re out of ideas!
Oh no, we’re not! Answers are everywhere, Stretch! Let’s just look around!
Ready?
[Music]
Let’s see… answers are everywhere!
Oh! Look at this stick! Maybe we can use that to help us!
Yeah, I’ll take it with me!
I can’t move this at all!
This thing isn’t going anywhere! It’s stuck in the ground!
Oh, that’s it! Stuck in the ground! We should stick the windsock pole in the ground!
Dottie, Stretch, I have an idea!
[Music]
Okay, the hole is ready, and now we put the windsock pole in the windsock hole!
All right, lifting!
Oh, can you do it, Stretch?
Of course! You see, I just lift it up, and then I drag the bottom of the pole into the hole!
Here! Look! A good stretch! Now I just lift it up straight!
Is that straight, Dottie?
Oh, uh, let me check!
Uh, yeah! That looks straight!
All right! Packing it down!
Backpack!
Backpack!
Yeah! What do you think, Zerbies?
Ah, it looks amazing!
Yes! We just need to see if it works when the wind blows!
All right, why don’t we back up and see if it works?
All right, let’s look from the runway!
Oh, good idea!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh, it’s working great! The windsock is blowing in the wind, and the pole is staying still! We did it!
All right!
I can’t wait to tell the other flying Zerbies! They’ll be so excited!
Oh, hey! There’s Flynn!
Oh, he’s circling it! Looks like he’s coming in for a landing!
Hey, Dottie! Calling Flynn! Come in, Flynn!
Ah, this is Flynn! What’s going on, Dottie?
We just installed a new windsock at Zerby Town Airport! Come and check it out!
Oh, that’s amazing, Dottie! Now I know what direction the wind’s blowing, and I can land safely!
But, uh, speaking of safety, whoa! Can you guys clear the runway so I can land?
Yes!
[Music]
Oh, sorry about that, Flynn! We’re backing up!
Sorry! Backing up!
All right, thanks, Zerbies! Coming in to land on the runway!
Taking a look at that windsock!
Oh, yeah! I know which way the wind’s coming from! This is gonna be great!
Coming in for a landing!
Hey! Why are you still on the runway?
Oh, I thought I went the right way, but I didn’t go the right way!
Heavy wrecks!
No, it’s not too heavy at all!
Boy, you’re strong!
I might be strong, but this dock is actually pretty light!
Really? Or maybe I could carry it!
Yeah, you could have a turn if you want!
Hey, Zack!
Hey, Rex! Over here!
Hi, Axel!
Oh, hi, Axel! What’s spinning?
You guys racing?
‘Cause I’m always up for a race anytime!
We’re not racing! Rex is helping Bob the Boat, and I’m helping him!
Yeah, it’s a new dock for Zerby Town Harbor! We’re taking it to him!
Cool! Can I come with you?
Oh, uh, this gorge is too deep!
Um, how am I gonna get across?
Oh, yeah, it is pretty deep!
Um, maybe I can go around it that way!
Oh no, there’s a tree there!
How about that side?
Oh no, there’s a rock on that side!
Uh, I’m gonna have to go all the way around!
You want us to wait till you get all the way around?
Oh, you could wait, but that’ll take forever!
Oh, I know! I’ll jump across!
Uh, okay! You are a good jumper!
Oh yeah, I’m the best jumper! Watch this! Ready, set, turbo!
Oh, I didn’t make it!
Are you okay, Axel?
Yeah, I’m okay, but looks like I’m stuck here!
Oh, that’s okay, Axel! What do we say when we’re stuck?
Answers are everywhere!
Okay, so you stay right here, and we’ll go find something to get you out!
Yeah, we’ll get you out! Come on, let’s go!
Yeah, backing up!
So how do you want to get Axel out?
Well, let’s build a ramp out of something!
That sounds like a good idea! He can drive right out of the gorge that way!
Uh, what do we use?
Uh, how about this stick?
Oh yeah, that looks pretty good!
Wait! It might not be strong enough for Axel to drive up! We need something that’s wide and flat and strong!
Hey, what about that dock, Rex?
Oh yeah! I kind of forgot that was up there!
I don’t think it’s long enough, though!
Yeah, it might not be long enough, but you know what? I think I have an idea! Come on!
Okay, so we’re gonna tie some ropes to the dock!
Yeah, okay! I’ve got some rope!
Okay, Axel, we have a plan, and it’s really good, right, Rex?
Yeah, it’s great!
Okay, whatever you Zerbies say, I’m ready!
All right, jumping!
I don’t get it! It doesn’t reach!
I can’t get out!
No, no, you’re supposed to get on it, and then we pull you out!
Oh, good plan, Zerby!
Okay, get on up there, Axel!
Okay, all right, I’m ready to go! Call me out!
Okay, here we go! Ready, set, turbo!
Hey, hey, hey! Oh, oh, oh!
Okay, I fell off!
Whoa!
What happened?
It’s okay! We can try again! Get back on, Axel!
Okay, I’m on!
Okay, he’s on! Go ahead, Rex!
I’m gonna go slower this time, Axel!
That’s a good idea! I’m gonna pull you slower!
Okay!
Here we go! Ready?
Wait, wait!
Okay, I’m still sleeping!
[Music]
Here we go! Ready? And pulled!
Yeah, this time for sure!
Wait a minute! I’m not sure this is as easy as I thought it would be!
I don’t know about this, Zerbies!
It’s okay! We just need to try again!
Uh, what should we do differently?
Well, I can only pull the dock up the side of the gorge!
Yeah, when you do, it gets too steep for me to stay on!
Maybe we need to pull it straight up!
Uh, how would we do that?
We can’t, but I know someone who can!
Zap to Strut! Come in, Strut!
Uh, this is Strut! What can I do for you, Zack?
We need your help with something!
Every time we tried to pull Axel out, the dock got too steep for him to stay on!
Ah, how can you get me out, Strut?
Yes, of course! But we need to get the dock too!
Well, that’s easy! We just pull them both straight up!
But that’s difficult to do from here!
Oh, I know! I’ll just throw my hook over that branch, and it will go straight down!
And then we can lift Axel and the dock straight up, and then he won’t slip off!
A great idea!
All right, here I go! Tossing
