ESAGGtitle

Elmo's Sing-Along Guessing Game is a 1991 Sesame Street direct-to-video special. The video is a collection of upbeat Sesame songs, with a framing sequence involving a game show hosted by Elmo. His contestants were Mary, Mary's little lamb, and Mr. Johnson (who's just waiting for a bus to Cincinnati). Elmo asks some questions and then shows a video clip from Sesame Street as a clue. Whoever answers has to jump on a trampoline and ring a bell.

This video was originally released by Random House as part of the Sesame Songs Home Video series.
