 It's time. It's time. It's time. For what? For the curious giraffe show. Sit back and relax. We'll sing, chat, and laugh. Oh, I'm the curious giraffe show. Welcome back, everybody. And as you know, this is my friend, Jeanette. Hello, everybody. Oh, I'm so glad to see you. I just can't wait each time for you to come back. And that's her friend George. He's much calmer, much quieter. But they're both very curious. And they use their big eyes and their big ears to learn a lot. And then they use their mouths to ask questions. So, I think Claire, it's your turn to help Jeanette find out who's who on the curious crew today. Hi, Dona. Julia. Hi, Julia. Hi, Emily. What's your name? Olivia. Hi, Olivia. Hi, Claire. What's your name? Ayla. Hi, Ayla. We're so glad you're here. Dorothy. Hi, Dorothy. Thank you. Hello, everybody. So good to be back. So, we're going to turn the page and find out what the giraffes are curious about today. So, to help us sing the song, I brought a couple. This is the giraffe family. And here's a sister giraffe. Okay, yeah, either of you. And then don't worry. We'll have things for everyone to hold at some point. Okay. So, I'd love you all to help sing. Here we go. And remember, you're going to need your hands for the signs for Share One Big Sky. Here we go. Giraffe looked over at Zebra and said, she can do that. That's fine. You're going to help Jeanette sing. Okay. The giraffes looked over at Zebra and said, why do I have spots? Why do you have stripes? Zebra just shrunk and said, we come in all types of fun. We all share one big sky. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah, we're different and we know it, but we all get along because we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. Nice. Looked over at his sister and said, what do you do with your feelings when you're lonely, sad or scared? His sister said it helps when your feelings are shared underneath this one big sky. Oh, yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah, we're different and I'll get along because we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. Let me stop and think what that second verse was asking. Claire, you look ready. Go ahead. About your feelings. About our feelings, yes. And last time when our friend Fran Friedman was here, she did several songs about feelings and several of those songs had hugs in them. When do you like to be hugged? Anybody. Think about in your own life, when do you like to be hugged? Olivia? At bedtime. Bedtime is a nice time. Donate. Same. And what do you mean when you do this? That means me too. Me too. Okay, how many of us like to be hugged at bedtime? That's very true for me. Okay, you have another idea? Yes, Claire? At school. At school. I actually love it. You love it. And who would you like to be hugged from at school? My teacher. Your teacher. I'm happy to hear that. When I taught, I really like to give hugs. But I also knew that some children liked it, sometimes, and some children didn't, sometimes. So I'd say if I felt like it was a good time to give a hug, I'd say, I'd like to give you a hug. Would you like a hug? And somebody could say yes or no. So I have a friend who wrote the next song because for her, when someone's crying, that's one of their times, then it feels especially good for most of us. But how about everybody turn, and just, how about Doné? You asked Julia, and Julia can ask Doné. Emily, you can ask Olivia. And would you ask your sister? Ask each other if you would like a hug. Check with each other. If they say yes, then you give them a hug. That's very friendly. And then that's great. There you go. It's smart to check, but it's really nice. So here's our song that my friend Ruth Pelham wrote. What do I do when my sister is crying? Let's try that. So, oh, I told you that I had enough animals for everyone to give a hug. So pass that down. Pass this one down. Okay, here's one. Pass this one down, please. Okay, good. I think I'm getting, there we go. All right, and I think there's one last one in here. Did everybody get somebody to hug? Yes. Are you happy with the two of them? Yeah. Okay, then this one will be mine, I guess. Okay, all right, here we go. What do I do? The Pelican will watch us sing, all right? So here we go. Sing with me. What do I do when my sister is crying? What do I do is cry? I don't know what to say. You take your sister in your arms. You take your sister in your arms. All right, we want to hug in our family. Your brother. The brother, good job. Is that who you were thinking? Yeah. Let's do it. What to say? You take your brother. You take your brother in your arms. I don't know. You take your friend in your arms. My goodness, sometimes I do want to hug the whole world. I don't know. You take the world. There's a little trick here. What do I do when you go deep into your heart and love will find you? Okay. What? I don't know. Will you go deep into your heart and love will find you? Yes, you go deep into your heart. Next verse. Parents or your grandparents or your teacher, someone who's bigger than you, might sing back to you. So this, we're going to sing again. What do I do when I am crying? What? I don't know what to say. Well, you can climb into my. Yes, you can climb into my. Yes, you can climb. Just like in our song where we use signs to show share or sky. We use a hug to say those things like, I love you. I care. I don't know what to say, but my arms will show you that I care, right? Yeah. Okay. So I have friends, Stuart and Tom wrote the next song. They like hugs so much that they think we should have eight hugs a day. That's a lot. You think? Okay. But do you think you'd feel pretty healthy and happy if you got eight hugs a day and not just one at that time? All right. So let's sing it. It goes like this. I'm going to do it with my hands and show you. So you put up eight fingers. You're going to go. Eight hugs a day. Hug, hug. Eight hugs a day. Hug, hug. Remember what the doctor said. Eight hugs a day. We need ten hours of sleep. Three good meals a day. Exercise and take a nap. But don't forget some time to play. Eight hugs a day. Hug, hug. Eight hugs a day. Hug, hug. Remember what the doctor said. Eight hugs a day. Hug, hug. Wouldn't that be fun if you went to the doctor? Get the kitty. And what's the kitty doing? I went to do a hug. Oh, the kitty wanted to do the puppet. That is an idea. Okay, Emily. Sue and Julia agree on how to open the mystery box. The curious box, the curiosity box. And there's a surprise in there. Okay. And Julia, pull out one of those pages. We're curious why it's there. And unroll it. Emily, save yours for a minute. Julia, read it very loudly. Who do you go interesting to share? Why? Okay. Who do you go to when your feelings are happy or excited? Oh, good. We're thinking now. Julia, you read it. You can start us off. Well, you would go to a friend or a family. Or someone you love. And you can say specifically who those might be. Emily. My sisters. Your sisters. You'd like to tell them. Yes. You could go to really anyone you really like that maybe needs a hug. That maybe needs a hug or something fun to know about. Yes, Claire. You would go to Ila, isn't that fun? I would go to Claire. And you'd go to Claire. How about Dona? I would go to my grandmother. Yes, she would want to know, wouldn't she? She'd be happy for you to share that with her. The giraffe wants to say something. Oh, what does the giraffe want to say? I love you, Duffy. Oh, and I love you too. Thank you. And that makes me feel good. Jeanette Giraffe just told me her feelings. How about that? Okay, Emily, what does your question say? In your family. Why? Who do you go to in your family? Who do you go to in your family when you have a question or problem? Why? Okay, Ila, now we're going to find out. This is a harder question. When you have a question or problem, who in your family might you go to to talk to about it? Emily. My mother? Your mother. Olivia? A family member. Yeah, think about who it might be. Probably my parents. Your parents? How about you, Claire? My mom. Your mom, yeah? Julia? My brother. Your brother would listen. Yes, Ila? My sister. Your sister would listen. Don't make it. My granddad. And your granddad. Yeah. Aren't we each lucky to have somebody who would listen and care? So, so today is a lot about feelings. So this next song is one that I wrote because when I'm in the mood to sing, I might sing and others might sing with me. But sometimes I might have something else inside of me. So I want you to know these were ideas for sometimes, but today I might call out some different things, okay? So you'll sing along. I sing for a song that lives within me. And then, okay, so does everybody have somebody you could go to to say when things are hard and you need a problem to solve a problem? Everybody has somebody. That's what I want to make sure. And even if somebody's new to me, if I see they're sad, I might say, do you want to tell me about your feelings? I am willing to listen. I don't know if I can fix it, but I can listen, right? Yeah. Okay. So let's say I sing for a song lives within me and that song wants to join with the song in you because usually if you join with someone else, you start to feel better. I sing for a song. So let's sing in our song, I wiggle for a wiggle lives in me because I don't think you can stop it. Here we go. These are different feelings. But I have one more special thing to do. So I'm going to ask all of you to put whatever you've been holding behind you or if I, how about that suitcase, Julia? Can you just, let's see. Yeah, that'd be great. If you pack that up, I want to talk about one more thing. Has anybody ever told you that feelings are contagious? Does anybody know what contagious means? Okay. Some of you do. Emily, how about, what's your idea? It spreads. It spreads. And I was at the beach one day and I noticed, I'm going to put this in the center so you can see. I noticed that when a little sandpiper with a skinny, thin, thin, thin little beak poked his beak into the water to get a drink that the ripples spread out. And they spread way, way, way out. So I made a song about it and I was thinking about how the ripples spread out and how our feelings carry from each other. So, yes, you can each, as we sing the parts of the song, little sandpiper, you can think about what we're putting, do we dip peace or do we dip trouble? Olivia, can you reach this? Let me slide it a little. I can. Can everybody? Okay. So will you sing with me the sandpiper song? Little sandpiper waning in the water. Little sandpiper waning in the sea. Dip your beak and what do you see? Go ahead, dip your beaks. Rings flowing out from you to me. Rings flowing out. But we have power, you and me. Go ahead. Rings flowing in circles. Rings flowing out. Put your fingers in your heart and put your finger in there. Do we dip trouble? Do we? Now think smiles. Do we dip smiles? Go ahead, dip some smiles. Let those spread out in the world. Or do we? Sometimes we grumble. What we do and say makes waves you see. Rings flowing out. So I'm going to show you something fun about when we get ripples going. Making ripples by dropping things in. This is a sound bowl. And I'm going to tap it with this soft mallet. And watch the water. What do you see? Describe it to the people watching on the show. Tell us. Ripples. How many ripples? Millions. Millions. Well, it's like little tiny specks of water. Little tiny, tiny ripples, tiny specks. But that's what our feelings are. And sometimes you see them. They're showing up because they're invisible. Right. Right. And just the way the light is on this shiny bowl helps us to see them. Oh my God. I feel that vibration. Can you feel it? Okay. Touch lighter. Touch a little lighter. And I'll try to keep it going. There you go. So that's a science experiment that I wanted to show you. That was cool. It is cool. So I'm going to put my bowl over here. And we have one. Yes. How about, sure. Olivia can have a turn. Okay. You know what? I liked her, Olivia's idea that at bedtime we get a hug. So turn and ask the person near you if they'd like a hug. Would you like a hug? Yes. Okay. And then ask Julia because she didn't get one. Okay. And we're going to sing home is where the heart is, where I lay me down to rest. Home is where the heart is. It's the place I know the best. Okay. So you can close your eyes, pretend to sleep, or stay sitting up with me and be singing this really nice restful song about the end of the day. Home is where the heart is, where I lay the heart is. It's the place I know the best. It's the place I feel most settled, safe and sound and enlist. Let's just hum for a minute and feel whatever you're feeling. Here we go. It's the place I learn forgiveness for we all make mistakes. It's the place I learn acceptance even on the harder days. It's the place where I just hang out, where I can help or play, where I laugh or cry and hug goodnight and lay me down to rest. Here we go. Can you hold the kitty in a gentle way? Here we go. Last part. It's the place I learn forgiveness. Let's do that verse again. I'm the one that made a mistake. See, we all make mistakes, right? Okay. Here we go. It's the place I learn forgiveness for we all make mistakes. It's the place I learn acceptance even on the harder days. It's the place where I just hang out, where I can help or play, where I laugh and cry and hug goodnight and lay me down to rest. Beautiful voices and beautiful listening and sharing that you all have today. I feel very, very relaxed and like I'm good friends with all of you. You're tired? Okay. Well, it is time for us to end the show. So we're going to stand up and sing our giraffe song. Here, donate. Come over this way. Stretch out across the front. Here we go. Let's join everybody. Here we go. Keep tall like a giraffe, hearts open like a giraffe, eyes and ears open. Keep singing, keep looking up, keep asking questions and never give up. Keep singing, keep looking up, keep asking questions and never give up. All right. We'll see you next time. Bye. Bye.
