Let's Learn to Play Together

Let's Learn to Play Together is a Sesame Street video released for the View-Master Interactive Vision.

The video begins with Big Bird telling the viewers that Mr. Snuffleupagus is bringing a surprise to the arbor area, and the surprise invovles his portable TV (which, as it turns out, a Snuffleupagus-sized portable TV is the same size as a regular one). Luis hooks up a video console to the TV, which includes the controller used on the Interactive-Vision. Luis tells them that they might have more fun figuring out how to use it themselves, and leaves the instruction manual.

Big Bird and Snuffy read the manual, and suddenly, images cover the screen (none show up if viewed without the console), and they learn that they and the viewer have to wiggle the stick to remove the images, as Snuffy sings a song, "Wiggle the Stick".

After that, Forgetful Jones shows up and is sad because he has forgotten his favorite number. Big Bird and Snuffy help by telling the viewer to use the right button to pick a favorite number for Forgetful Jones (the choices are 8, 5, 2, and 4). After a number is picked, Forgetful Jones thanks them as well as The Count, who appears on the TV, singing "That's What Counts".

After that, Big Bird and Snuffy see both Big Bird and Ernie singing on the TV (the footage is the Big Bird and Ernie sequences from "I Love to Sing"). Snuffy tells the viewers to press the red button to hear Ernie sing, the blue button to hear Big Bird sing, and the yellow button to hear both sing at the same time (if no buttons are selected, only Ernie's vocals are heard, as their scenes appear in the form of a split-screen). Following this sequence, Snuffy is seen in Big Bird's nest area, singing "Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles" while playing with bubbles in a small waiting pool (Big Bird, in voice-over, tells the viewers to use the controll to pop as many bubbles that appear on-screen as possible).

Afterwards, Elmo and Oscar the Grouch argue over who gets to tell the "A the Ape" story. Oscar doesn't want Elmo to tell it because he'll make it sound cute, and Elmo doesn't want Oscar to tell it because he'll make it sound grouchy. The viewer then gets to choose which one tells the story, and that characters voice-over is heard narrarating an A cartoon about an ape who escapes from a train and gets to a birthday party (if neither is selected, Elmo is automatically chosen).

Forgetful Jones comes back because he forgot what his favorite number is again. Big Bird asks the viewers if they remember the number they chose, and then shows the "greebles" cartoon, instructing the viewers to press a button whenever that number appears on-screen. After the cartoon, Don Music shows up with his piano, asking Big Bird, Snuffy, and the viewers to help him write his next song. Don gives the viewers a number of choices for what to include in the song, having the viewer choose between a duck and a cow, elbows and earlobes, the colors yellow and purple, and broccolli and spaghetti, and then sings a variation of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" (if no selection is made, then the first of each choice is automatically chosen). After the song, they watch Cab Calloway sing "Jump Jive".

At the end, Luis comes back, and Big Bird and Snuffy tell him about what they learned. As the credits appear, an image of clouds that was shown at the beginning appears, leading Big Bird to tell the viewers to click on that picture when it appears a the beginning next time they watch the video for a surprise.
