Guess what Elmo's thinking about today? | Elmo gives a clue of what he's thinking about by wiggling his fingers. He opens the closet door to reveal a group of kids applauding, and a video montage follows of children playing games and doing other things with their hands. |
 |
Dorothy's Question | Dorothy has a blue hand decoration in her fishbowl, and she wants to know how to wash your hands. |
 |
The Noodle Family | Mr. Noodle's brother Mr. Noodle puts his foot, face, and elbows into a sink full of water before washing his hands, learning just how slippery a bar of soap can be. |
 |
Kids and Baby | Kids show Dorothy how they wash their hands with bar soap and liquid soap; Elmo then asks a baby, who has a bowl of water in front of them. |
 |
Elmo's Question | Elmo asks the viewer to help him count the number of times a cartoon bongo player hits his drums (20). |
 |
Video E-Mail | Telly and Baby Bear show Elmo how they use their hands to play "Pat-a-Cake." |
 |
Quiz | Elmo asks yes/no questions whether things have hands. Horses don't; they have hooves. Pineapples don't, but you use your hands to eat a pineapple (careful!). Clocks have clock hands. Monsters have hands too, and Rosita appears to use her hands to play her guitar. "Olé!" |
 |
Film | Elmo narrates the time his deaf friend David, his mommy, and friend Lauren went to the zoo, where David teaches Lauren the American Sign Language signs for the animals they see. |

 |
Interview | Elmo shows how he can use his hand to pretend to be a plane and a shark's fin (cueing up a parody of Jaws music) before talking to another hand (Roscoe Orman). The hand lets Elmo count its five fingers before showing how it can scratch Elmo's back (feeling Elmo's fur in the process), act as a shadow puppet, and snap to make a sound. |
   |
Tickle Me Land | Dorothy imagines Elmo doing a handstand (and falling over), playing handball (falling over again), and multiple Elmos conducting and playing in an orchestra. One googly-eyed Elmo musician enjoys crashing the cymbals. |
 |
The Hands Song | Elmo sings "The Hands Song" while showing how he uses his hands to play the piano, using them again to sign "That's Elmo's World!" at the very end. |
Notes[]
- This episode is one of the infrequent times where a live-hand Elmo puppet is used.
- The Elmo conducting the orchestra is loosely based on famed conductor Arthur Fiedler who conducts Rossini's "William Tell Overture".
- A shot from the "Great Moments at the Sink: Washing Hands" segment (First: Episode 3665) is used during the opening montage.
