Play-Along Games and Songs is a 1986 Sesame Street video compilation of game and puzzle-themed skits, as well as songs which encourage viewer participation. In the framing story, Big Bird leads a series of games with Elmo, Forgetful Jones, and a couple of kids.

The video was originally released on VHS by Random House in 1986, as part of the "My Sesame Street Home Video" line. It was first released on DVD by Sony Wonder in 2005.


Segments[]

PAG&S 1a

PAG&S 1b
FRAME 1 Big Bird tells Forgetful Jones that it's time to play games, but Forgetful claims he's "No-Games Jones," even though he's currently playing go fish with Elmo. Big Bird plans to quiz Forgetful on how much he remembers after they've played all the games. Forgetful likes the idea, and Big Bird goes to round up two kids (Jesse and Desiree) who are seen playing with Oscar the Grouch.

Hubley.Penguintap
FRAME 1 cont'd The group starts the first game: "Follow That Penguin!" They watch a cartoon of a penguin making beats, (First: Episode 0239) and Big Bird points to someone who has to repeat that beat. When it's Forgetful's turn, he forgets the beat, so Elmo helps him remember. In the third round, the penguin taps out a random series of beats, which Elmo and the others interpret through scatting.
HerryEricTouchGame
Muppets Muppet & Kid MomentHerry Monster plays a game with a boy named Eric, who closes his eyes and guesses what Herry hands him (a ball, a feather, and his head).
The sketch is edited to remove Herry's third round of the game.
(First: Episode 1613)
PAG&S 2
FRAME 2 The next game is "The Rhyme Game," where Big Bird says a word, points to a person and they must make a rhyme. His word is "top," and when he calls on Forgetful Jones, they all hop to help him think of a word. He takes so long to guess that they all get tired. Big Bird tells him to play along with the next segment.
Beat The Time
Muppets Guy Smiley hosts "Beat the Time". In order to win a cookie, Cookie Monster has to bring in three things that rhyme with the word "rain" before the hand goes around the clock. They turn out to be an old man's "cane", a "chain" (to which Frazzle is attached), and finally a "train" which destroys the set.
(First: Episode 0446)
