SCENE 1 | Big Bird plays his favorite game with the kids in the yard - Duck Duck Goose. When it's his turn to be "it," the kids are all called off by their coach (John Kennedy) for practice, leaving Big Bird without anyone to play with. Zoe happens by and offers to play it with him, but the game doesn't work well with two people. They then meet Winnie, who has moved to the neighborhood from England. She suggests they play pirates and Big Bird and Zoe join her, though Big Bird hopes they can still play Duck Duck Goose after. |
