If all the lions and alligators were one thing, what a lovely lion gator that would be. I'm Walden Martz, and I guess dancing is just about my favorite thing in the whole wide world. Get some shoulder rolls in on that part so it looks South American. Bev just started making new dance. Sometimes it takes me at least two dance lessons or more to learn a new tap step. These are my shoes. Not any ordinary shoes. They're tap shoes. I want to teach you a new step now.

You do a falap ball change, shuffle ball change, and look over this shoulder. Falap ball change, now over this shoulder, shuffle. There are three main steps in tap dancing. And there's a ball change, a shuffle, and the flap. And the ball change goes something like this. the shuffle goes something like this now the flap i can't get the new step in with it oh okay well let's go with the new step again well i mean um going from one step to another i mean i'm confused with the arm movements and when i go like like this i i don't think i can go into the next one okay why don't you try doing your last for lap for lap for lap ball change into your new step slowly tap dancing is very kind of exact looks easy but it is difficult because you got to keep counting to yourself

Nelly works for Bev, and she puts on the records and orders costumes. His mother always says he just has too much pep. And a one, and a two, and a three, and a... There's a whole mess of kids that take dancing from Bale. Sometimes we even get together and we just make up some dances. Or Rita shows us some new steps.

Rita's my sister She's really a good tap dancer Let's go through the dance Do the whole thing in the beginning and do this Two by two, you know After we get down with this And then we'll go in our circle and we'll do this Most kids think that the boys who dance Are sissies, but they don't know What they're missing I went down just to get to Memphis I messed up on a whole bunch of stuff And then I came down and I go Oh, gosh, I messed up on a whole bunch of junk. And all of a sudden, here comes a judge and he goes, third place goes to so-and-so, second place goes to so-and-so, and I go, oh, here comes first place, it's not for me. And then all of a sudden, first place, Walter Myers. And I'm sitting there going, go out and get my thing and go. Boy, I really like to dance. When I get older, I'm going to go to Hollywood, and I'm going to try out for the best movie in the world. And it's going to be a direct hit. We'll be right back.

Walter? Walter? Walter? Are you getting your homework done? Oh, boy. Homework. This is an ordinary matchbox, but Maurice Little of New Orleans, Louisiana, figured out how to use matchboxes to make a calendar. Now, first of all, you take 50 or 60 matchboxes and empty out all

the matches into a jar or a tin can so someone else can use them. Then you take the empty match boxes and glue them together in seven columns so that they're about seven boxes high. Then you glue the seven columns together so that they look like this. Now all you have to do is put the days of the week along the top row and fill in the dates. And there you have a calendar that's good forever because you can change the dates around from month to month just by moving the little drawers but the best part of all is that every date is a little compartment for notes surprises or anything you want now if you want to get the instructions on how to make a calendar like this Write Zoom, and we'll send you a Zoom card. Write Zoom, C-double-O-N, box-three-five-oh. Boston, that's four, two, one, three, four. If all the fish and hamsters were one thing,

what a lovely hamfish that would be. Research group 5A reporting to Green Planet Control. We landed on planet Earth. Research begins now. Major bleep. And Sergeant Boop reporting out. Let's get going. Look, over there. Hello, Earthling.

We are from the Green Planet. Huh? Take your finger out of your ear when I'm talking to you. Here, sweetie, some flowers for you, or shucks. Why don't you go check out the ship? Good idea. Hey, beautiful. What are you doing tonight? Uh-huh. Behind my back you flirt with this two-bit meadow monstrosity. I'm sorry. Sure, but I am. Let's go. Look, two more earthlings. Mm, very handsome.

Nice shiny wheels on them, too. Yes, but they must not be too intelligent letting those funny-looking animals ride around on them. This is no planter for us. Let's be going. Zoom phenomenon! What's a zoom phenomenon? Hang on, you'll see. Okay. Do you think you can make an egg float in a glass of water? Yeah. Anywhere you want, without baking it. Oh, too bad. Ooh, it's cold. Look, when it goes down, it gets bigger. You try, Danny. It gets magnified. That's neat. Drain all the stuff out of it.

But he said you couldn't crack it. Can't crack it open. No way. Float. Nope. Sink, sink, sink. Wanna know what the secret is? Come up. No. We'll be right back. He's got the secret. And it's in the salt. This happened to have a spoon here. You did. Take three. Put three teaspoons of salt into the water. And you've got to stir it up until it's, like, liquefied. Neato. No, it's great. You have to put it in gently. And if it doesn't work, you know what to do? You stir it up some more. Either that or you put more salt in. You pours the whole thing in. Okay, that's enough. You have to fill the whole glass up with salt. Yeah, I bet you, not until you fill the whole glass up with salt.

Why does the salt do it? That's a good question. I don't have an answer to that one. Hey, did you try this before you did this? Oh. Did you? A magician never tells his secrets. Okay, it's gonna float. Everybody think float. Float. Float. Float. It's not gonna float. Yay! If all flowers and elephants were one thing, what a lovely flower fant that would be. Going from Danny to me, from Amy to Edith, from Edith to Lori, from Lori to Neil, Here's a game from Karen Delaney of Braintree, Mass. It's called, My Mother Went to Market. If you want to figure out the rules, think about the spelling of each item that she bought. My mother went to the store.

My mother went to the gas station. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I got to think of what it's going to be. No. My mother went to the market and bought a cat tie. Eggs. You're out of the eggs. Let's go. My mother went to market and bought some food, dogs, your elf, and the crummy ants, the crummy ants, all girls. My mother went to the market and bought a glass, Shampoo

I was going to say hard work My mother went To the market And bought a Plum Oh, she ate it Let's hear freedom I'll just say, um... Thank you. one of the things we learned at the boys club is how to cook we call it the chef's club and once

Once a week, we prepare a complete meal and serve it to the staff. At first, we thought the idea of cooking was for girls, until everyone told us how good we were. We take turns at different jobs, this time I got the onions. We usually feed about 20 to 30 people, so when we cook we have to make a lot of food. This week we're having beef stew and cornbread. Part of learning how to be a real chef is to use almost nothing but fresh food.

We each have a specialty. Like DJ, he does most of the baking. Everyone always does their part. The meal wouldn't come out right. Nice crispy salad, hot cornbread. It's nice to see everyone enjoying our meal. One thing about Lenny, you sure can eat.

We try not to think about all those dishes and pots and pans. We joke around and talk about how the meal turned out. And then we start planning what to have for our next meal. If Santa and his reindeer were one thing, what a lovely rain-o-claws that would be. every now and then it's time for some old zoomers to leave the show and for some new kids to come on now it's edith neils laurie's and my turn to go off and we had a rap with the new kids whose names are sean hector rose and another danny um laurie how does it feel when you're not going to be on zoom no more if you're leaving off zoom and you it's the night that you meet the new zoomers you sort of feel disappointed or like you shouldn't be be there or you just don't

belong anymore because the new zoomers i'm not talking you know to you guys i'm just saying you know you feel sort of you know bad because not because you're going but that because not because someone's taking your place it's the everything is like when the mailbox is downstairs and they changed him remember and like um i think you did and one time i did i took out someone's mail because i kept on thinking that was mine the thing i put my shirt with everybody's name on it well we you know had them and my name was what yours was so i go oh i shouldn't be getting this and i don't know so i put it there it's not hector's name and i go up are you all i mean like really happy you made them are you proud of yourselves i mean are you glad you are you you know happy that i don't i can't i can't say it um um sean yes go ahead there's nothing really to be proud about i mean because anyone could have done it like what i didn't feel proud i didn't feel proud

And I look at him, and he seems kind of different on TV. I go, hi, Danny. And Danny goes, what's your name? I'm Hector. And he shakes my hand. And that guy, I felt like kind of weird.
