Ep 21. What Comes Next Game

In Sesame Street season 37 episode 21, entitled "What Comes Next Game," the gang is playing a game to see who can guess what comes next. The game is a way to help children learn about patterns and sequences, which are important skills for future learning.

The episode starts with Big Bird and some of his friends standing in front of a board with different pictures on it. They have to guess what comes next in a pattern. For example, if the board has pictures of a banana, an apple, and an orange, the next picture would likely be a pear. The characters take turns trying to guess what the next picture would be in the sequence.

Throughout the episode, different characters use different strategies to help them guess what comes next. Some rely on memory, while others look for visual cues. For example, if the pattern is based on colors, a character might look for the next picture that has the same color as the previous one.

The What Comes Next Game also teaches children how to make predictions, which is an important skill for understanding cause and effect. For example, if a character correctly guesses what comes next in a sequence, they can learn to predict what might happen next based on that information.

As the characters continue to play the game, they discover different patterns and sequences. Some are easy, while others are more difficult to guess. But no matter what, they all have fun playing together and learning about patterns and sequences.

The episode also features a few segments with Elmo, Abby Cadabby, and Grover. In one segment, Elmo and Abby use a magic wand to help them guess what comes next. In another segment, Grover tries to guess what comes next in a song by looking for visual cues in the music video.

Overall, Sesame Street season 37 episode 21 is a fun and educational episode that teaches children about patterns and sequences, and how to make predictions. The What Comes Next Game is a great way to help children build important skills for future learning, while also having fun with their favorite Sesame Street characters.
