And we’ll skidoo into a picture of a haunted house where we help our friend Boo observe, think, and test ideas so we can find Oogullah Buggla, promoting problem-solving and observation in a spooky setting.
Episode 319: Blue’s Big Pajama Party
Nighttime and bedtime routines are explored in “Blue’s Big Pajama Party”. It’s a special nighttime game of Blue’s Clues to figure out what Blue wants to do tonight. As we search for clues (trying not to yawn!), we’ll join Shovel and Pail for a game of Flash-‘n’-Find and learn about animals awake while we sleep, introducing nocturnal animals and nighttime activities. Donning blanket-capes, we’ll become brave Pajamanauts and skidoo into space where we meet the Sun, Earth, and Moon, who help us figure out why there’s night, reinforcing space concepts and day/night cycle understanding. Back home, we’ll get ready for bed, snuggle up in sleeping bags, and fall asleep, promoting bedtime routine and sleep preparation.
Episode 320: Blue’s Big Holiday
Holidays and traditions are celebrated in “Blue’s Big Holiday”. All of our friends are getting ready for the holidays, and we play Blue’s Clues to figure out which memory Blue wants to add to our holiday quilt. As we hunt for clues, we’ll skidoo into a snow globe where we find a train full of toys. We’ll examine groups of toys, identify the toys that are different, and figure out they’d be perfect gifts for our friends, promoting visual discrimination and gift selection. Later, we’ll match each present with the friend it goes to and learn about different holiday traditions with Green Puppy, Orange Kitten, Purple Kangaroo, and our other friends, reinforcing gift matching and holiday tradition awareness.
