Ep 9. Oozy Ooey Allergies

Ready, Steady, Wiggle! Season 1 Episode 9, titled "Oozy Ooey Allergies," features the wiggly world's famous group, The Wiggles, as they teach children about allergies. The episode begins with Emma, Lachy, Simon, and Anthony preparing for a picnic in the park. However, there is a problem. Simon starts getting a runny nose and itchy eyes, and Lachy has a red rash on his arm. Emma promptly identifies these symptoms as allergic reactions and decides to educate the others about allergies.

The first song performed by The Wiggles is "Allerergetic!" This song describes what allergies are and how they can affect people. The lyrics of the song include, "An allergy is a reaction to something we eat or breath in. Oh no, what can we do? We need some help to get us through!" The song is catchy and teaches children about the different symptoms of allergies.

Next, The Wiggles introduce their friend Professor Permutter, an expert on allergies. He explains that allergies can be caused by many things, including certain foods, animals, and pollen. The professor also shows the group some different allergens under his microscope, including cat hair, dust mites, and pollen. He explains that a small amount of these allergens can cause big reactions in some people.

To help Lachy and Simon with their allergies, Emma suggests they take some medication and avoid things that trigger their reactions. The Wiggles then perform the song "Wash Your Hands," which teaches children the importance of washing their hands to prevent getting sick. They also perform "Hot Potato" and "Rock-a-Bye Your Bear," two classic Wiggles songs loved by children worldwide.

The episode then takes a turn as it features a skit called "The Oozy Ooey Show." This skit stars Captain Feathersword, who turns into the Oozy Ooey Monster after eating something he is allergic to. This skit is light-hearted and aims to ease the fear children may have if they or someone they know experiences an allergic reaction.

In the final segment of the show, The Wiggles play "Simon Says" with the audience, and Emma wraps up the episode by reminding everyone how to take care of their allergies. She advises to see a doctor if symptoms persist and to always carry allergy medication with you for emergencies.

Overall, Ready, Steady, Wiggle! Season 1 Episode 9 provides an educational yet fun way for children to learn about allergies and how to deal with them. The songs performed by The Wiggles are catchy and informative, and the skit offers a good balance of humor and education. Parents can use this episode as a tool to teach their children about allergies in a positive and engaging way.
