- Hi!
Welcome to Elmo's World!
Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?
Wait for it.
(laughs) Wait for it!
Oh!
All the letters of the alphabet!
From A to Z!
(laughs) Elmo loves the alphabet
and wants to find out more about it.
Hey, let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.
Let's call her together.
- [Group] Oh, Smartie!
(cheerful music)
- Hiya, Elmo!
Check this out, it's my favorite, alphabet soup.
- Oh, yeah!
Oh, that's perfect, Smartie,
because Elmo wants to learn all about the alphabet today.
- Well, what do we do to learn something new?
- [Both] We look it up!
- Getting the A to Z on the alphabet.
Here we go.
You can find letters of the alphabet all around us.
They're on street signs and even doors and windows.
There are uppercase letters, which are letters that are big,
and there are lowercase letters,
which are letters that are small.
Some letters have straight lines, like the letter T.
Other letters have fun, curvy lines, like the letter S.
When you put letters together, you can sound them out
and make all sorts of wonderful words.
- C-A-T.
- [Smartie] That spells cat!
- Wow!
Elmo loves seeing the letters of the alphabet make words.
- Yeah, it's pretty A-mazing.
Well, I got a word search waiting for me.
I'll Z you later.
- Oh, Z you later!
Thank you, Smartie!
(Elmo laughs)
Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.
Let's play a game together.
Yeah!
Come on, come on.
(upbeat music)
Let's see how many letters we can find in this picture.
Are you ready?
Let's play!
Boy, Elmo doesn't see any letters.
- [Child] There's a B!
- [Elmo] A B? Where?
- [Child] The bench!
- [Elmo] Oh, the bench!
Elmo sees it.
B is for bench.
What other letters can we find?
- [Child] An S.
It's in the sun.
- [Elmo] Oh, there it is!
S is for sun.
Are there any more letters?
- [Child] Z!
- [Elmo] Z, where's the letter Z?
- [Child] On the zebra!
- On the zebra.
Oh!
Found you, letter Z.
And Z is for zebra.
We did it!
We found all the letters!
Good job, everybody!
Wow!
The alphabet is everywhere!
Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.
Oh, does Mr. Noodle know the alphabet?
Oh, let's ask him.
Hey, Mr. Noodle!
Oh, it's Mr. Noodle's poodle, Schmoodle.
Hi, Schmoodle.
- [Children] Schmoodle!
- Schmoodle, do you know the alphabet?
(Schmoodle barks)
You do?
Schmoodle, show us the first letter of the alphabet.
- [Children] Yeah, show us!
(Schmoodle barks)
- [Child] That's not the first letter of the alphabet.
That's a ball!
- [Elmo] Schmoodle, a ball isn't a letter of the alphabet.
A is the first letter of the alphabet.
Can you find the letter A, Schmoodle?
- [Child] That's not the first letter of the alphabet.
That's a bone.
- [Elmo] Elmo thinks Schmoodle wants to play!
- [Children] Keep trying, Schmoodle!
- [Elmo] That's it!
The letter of A is the first letter of the alphabet!
- [Children] You did it, Schmoodle!
- Maybe next time
you can find more letters to make words.
Thank you for helping us learn
about the alphabet, Schmoodle!
Thank you, Schmoodle!

Hi!
Welcome to Elmo's World!
Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?
Wait for it.
(laughs) Wait for it!
Balls!
(Elmo laughs)
Hurry up, beach ball.
(Elmo laughs)
Boy, Elmo wants to learn all about balls.
Let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.
Let's call her together.
- [Group] Oh Smartie.
(bright music)
- Hi, Elmo, I was playing tennis
when you called, excuse me a sec.
- Sure.
- Aah!
- Wow! Boy, Smartie really hit that ball.
Oh, and that's perfect because Elmo wants to learn
all about balls.
- Well, what do we do to learn something new?
- [Both] We look it up.
- Catching some bouncy facts about balls.
(upbeat music)
There are lots of different kinds of balls.
Bowling balls, golf balls,
basketballs, and footballs.
Balls come in different sizes and different shapes, too.
There are balls you bounce and balls you hit,
even balls on a string.
Everybody can have a ball with a ball.
- (laughs) Looks like doggies love to play ball
as much as Elmo.
- Me too! Gotta roll.
Bye, Elmo.
- (laughs) Thank you, Smartie, bye bye.
Boy, there's so many different kinds of balls
and different kinds of games you can play with them.
(laughs) Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.
Let's play a game together.
Yeah! Come on, come on.
(bright music)
Hm, Elmo wonders which ball goes with which game.
Are you ready?
Let's play!
This game has a hole in the grass.
Which ball goes in the middle hole?
This one?
- [Children] That's a football.
- [Elmo] Let's try it.
Oops, that's not right.
- [Children] The football's too big.
Try the little one.
- [Elmo] That's it, the golf ball goes in the hole.
The next game has bowling pins.
What kind of ball should we use?
- [Children] The black one, bowling ball.
- [Elmo] That's right, you use a bowling ball
to knock down the pins.
What kind of a ball goes through a goal post?
Looks like it's up to you, football.
Goal.
- [Children] Yay!
- Yay, we found the right ball for each game.
(laughs) That was great game about different balls.
And that makes Elmo wonder even more.
What is Mr. Noodle's favorite kind of ball?
Let's ask him.
Hi, Mr. Noodle.
- [Together] (laughs) Hi, Mr. Noodle.
- Does Mr. Noodle have a favorite kind of ball to play with?
You do? Show us, Mr. Noodle.
- [Children] Yeah, show us.
That's not a ball.
That's a box.
- [Child] And what's that?
A ball?
- [Elmo] Mr. Noodle, that ball doesn't look right.
- [Child] It's not round.
- [Elmo] Mr. Noodle, a ball needs air in it
to make it round and bouncy.
(whimsical music)
Mr. Noodle, no. Air doesn't come in a box.
- [Children] You have to use a pump.
Yeah, that's a basketball pump.
(drum rattling)
- [Elmo] Yeah, that's it, Mr. Noodle! You're doing it!
Yeah!
- [Children] Stop, that's too much air.
- (laughs) The air makes the ball bounce. Whoa.
(ball bounces)
The ball is playing with Mr. Noodle.
Bye bye, Mr. Noodle! Have a ball!
Boy.

Hi!
Welcome to Elmo's World!
Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today?
Wait for it.
(laughs) Wait for it!
Ah! Colors!
Oh, pretty.
Boy, Elmo loves colors, and wants to find out
more about them.
Hey, let's ask Elmo's friend Smartie.
Let's call her together.
- [Group] Oh Smartie!
(bright music)
- Oh! - Oh!
(Elmo and Smartie laugh)
- Yellow, Elmo!
Orange you glad I'm here?
Get it, Orange?
- Uh-huh!
- Get it, get it? - Yeah, yeah, yeah!
(Elmo and Smartie laugh)
- I'm talking about colors,
and I just love colors.
- Hey, well so does Elmo!
Oh, and Elmo wants to learn more about colors!
- Well, what do we do to learn something new?
- [Both] We look it up!
- Searching for colors.
Here we go.
Let's see a rainbow.
Ooh, there are colors everywhere.
You can find lots of colors all around you.
Fruits and vegetables are all sorts of colors.
Sometimes, colors tell us things.
Like when it's time to stop or go.
When you mix colors together, you can make new colors.
Blue and yellow mixed together make green.
Yellow and red make orange.
Red and blue turn into purple when you mix them.
And all the colors together make a beautiful rainbow.
- There are so many beautiful colors.
- Well, I've got some important coloring to do.
Catch you later, Elmo!
(Elmo laughs)
- Good day, Smartie!
Boy, Elmo never knew that you could mix colors together
to make new ones.
Hey, that gives Elmo an idea!
Come on, let's play a game together.
Yeah, come on, come on!
(bright music)
Elmo has three colors.
Red, yellow, and blue.
And Elmo wants to paint this pumpkin.
- [Children] It's orange!
Pumpkins are orange!
- [Elmo] Right, pumpkins are orange, like this one.
Let's paint this pumpkin to match.
- [Child] Let's start with red.
- [Children] That's red, like an apple!
- [Elmo] What will happen if Elmo adds blue?
- [Children] Now mix it.
Red and blue make purple.
Pumpkins aren't purple, they're orange.
- [Elmo] Let's try again.
What colors should Elmo try now?
- [Children] Yellow and red!
Try that!
- We did it, yeah!
We used yellow and red to make the color orange,
and paint our pumpkin!
Good job, everybody!
Wow, you can do so many things with colors.
Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.
Oh, does Mr. Noodle know about colors?
Oh, let's ask him, okay?
Hey, Mr. Noodle!
- [Children] Hello!
- Oh, it's Mr. Noodle's poodle, Schmoodle!
(Schmoodle barks) Hello, Schmoodle!
Oh, Schmoodle, do you know your colors?
(Schmoodle barks)
Can you show us, Schmoodle?
Show us something red.
- [Children] Yeah!
- [Child] We want to see!
- [Elmo] Oh, that's not red, Schmoodle, but try again.
Bring us something red.
- [Child] You can do it.
- [Elmo] That's a very nice ball, Schmoodle,
but that's not red, either.
You can do it, Schmoodle. Show us something red.
- [Child] Schmoodle brought a picture of Elmo.
- [Children] Elmo is red.
- Yay, you're right!
Elmo is red! (laughs)
Thank you, Schmoodle Noodle! Bye-bye.
- [Children] Bye Schmoodle!
