Ep 2. Down On the Farm

Word Party is an American-Canadian animated television series, which stars four adorable baby animals - Kip the Wallaby, Bailey the Elephant, Lulu the Panda, and Franny the Cheetah - who love to sing, dance, and learn new words. Their animal parents teach them new words to help them in their daily lives, utilizing repetition and engaging activities to ensure the little ones understand.

Season 1, episode 2, "Down On the Farm," focuses on the animal babies as they learn fun new words while on a trip to Farmer Sheep's farm. The four friends have been invited to spend a day on the farm with all the other animal children, and they are excited to explore their surroundings and meet new friends.

As soon as they arrive, Franny, Kip, Lulu and Bailey are greeted by Farmer Sheep and his sheepdog, Whistle. Farmer Sheep guided the little ones through the farm, showing them his crops and explaining what each one was called. "This is a carrot," says Farmer Sheep, holding up a vibrant orange vegetable. "And these are tomatoes," he continues, motioning to a group of red, ripe tomatoes.

After the tour, the animal friends are set loose to explore their surroundings. Kip and Bailey make their way to the barn, where they encounter a group of chicks hatching from their eggs. Lulu stops by the pigpen and is delighted to find a family of pigs who are more than willing to play a game of chase. Meanwhile, Franny is captivated by a herd of cows grazing in the meadow.

As the animals play and explore, they learn new words for each encounter they have. Kip learns the name "rooster" when a colorful bird wakes him up from his nap. Bailey discovers the meaning of "hay" when he starts playing on it. Lulu is introduced to the word "muddy" after her game of chase with the pigs, and Franny realizes the significance of "moo" when she tries to communicate with the grazing bovines.

As the day progresses, the animals are called back to the farmhouse for lunch. Farmer Sheep prepares a delicious meal for them, providing an opportunity for the friends to learn some table manners. After lunch, Farmer Sheep hands them each a basket and tells them to collect some fresh eggs from the chickens. The little ones are thrilled to get their hands on such an exciting task!

All too soon, the day comes to an end, and it's time for the friends to return home. Farmer Sheep shows them how to say "goodbye" in sign language, and they all wave goodbye, vowing to return to the farm again soon.
