Swing Abadas

.

Hey, Abadas.

ALL: Hello, Ben. Come and play with us. And...

# We'll have a aba-daba shooby-doo-wah

# Aba-daba play today

# Aba-daba shooby-doo-wah

# Aba-daba play today

# Play today. #

What are you waiting for?

I wonder where they're playing today.

They're in the house.

MAKES AEROPLANE NOISE

Make way for the Abadas aeroplane.

-Bird ahead. Left!

-Weee!

Balloon ahead. Right!

Yippee!

Where are we going, Pilot Hari?

Wherever you want.

Let's fly to the moon.

We can't go to the moon.

Pilot Hari can take you anywhere.

-Zoom, zoom!

-Weee!

Nearly there.

Boys and girls, foxes and bats, the moon.

Fur-tastic! Let's go and explore.

Phew!

You're walking funny, Hari.

Walking on the moon is hard.

It's like walking on jelly.

THEY LAUGH

Now, who wants to play another fun game?

ALL: We do! We do!

It's your favourite.

ALL: It's the word game. Come and play with us.

# You opened up a book and found us three

# It's time to play the word game You and me

# Listen to the word Then spot and see

# Match the word and object

# Help us three

# Let's play. #

Ready? I've got a brand-new Abada word.

And you have to guess what it looks like.

The word is...swing.

Swing.

Swing... Swing.

Swing.

THEY LAUGH

That's a funny word. But what does it do?

-Would you like a clue?

-ALL: Oh, yes, please, Ben.

You can play on it outside.

Ooh! That sounds like fun.

Fun is what the Abadas do best.

ALL: Aba-dooby-dee!

-Would you like another clue?

-ALL: Yes, please!

You can sit on it.

-Like a chair?

-A little bit.

So where do you think you'll find it?

In the sky?

Maybe. Aeroplanes have seats.

But you can't really play on aeroplanes,

not like we play.

Under the sea?

Hmm, I don't think so.

Why not?

You can't sit on things under the sea. You'd just float up.

It must be in the garden, then.

Yes, there are lots of things you play on in the garden.

-Well done.

-ALL: Yay! Go, go, Abadas!

The Abadas think that they will find the swing in the garden,

but which Abada would be the best one to find the swing?

# My name is Seren I can fly up high

# Up past the trees and towards the sky

# I hang topsy-turvy in the night and day

# Fly right down when it's time to play

# My name is Hari I like to swim

# I dive down deep

# I see everything that lives on the seabed or on the shore

# Swimming and playing is what I adore

# My name is Ela with a special nose

# Where it will lead me Nobody knows

# I can smell all the things that you can't always see

# I love my nose It's a part of me

ALL: # Shoo-doo-wop-wop Shoo-doo-way

# Shoo-doo-wop-wop Shoo-doo-way

# Shoo-doo-wop-wop Shoo-doo-way

# Shoo-doo-wop-wop Shoo-doo-way. #

-Ela, Ela!

-Ela should go!

-Me?

Yes, you love the garden.

Good choice, Abadas.

Ela knows all about the garden

and is the best Abadar to find the swing.

I'm on my way. Wey-hey!

Woo-hoo!

-ELA LAUGHS

-Woah!

Weee!

ELA LAUGHS

BEN CHUCKLES

Yoo-hoo! I'm over here.

ELA HUMS

# La la-la la-la la... #

Oh! SHE SNIFFS

Hmm, what's this?

Hmm.

Phew!

SHE CHUCKLES

Woah!

This is a very bouncy swing.

It's a little bit like walking on the moon.

That's not a swing, Ela.

-But it's in the garden.

-Yes, but that's a trampoline.

Trampoline?

Yes, it's for jumping up and down on.

And doing tricks if you're clever.

Ta-da!

BEN LAUGHS

That was fur-tastic!

SHE SNIFFS

What's this?

Ah... Ah... Argh!

What's happening?

BEN LAUGHS

This is in the garden, AND you can sit on it.

Hey, Ben, I love this swing. It's really slippery.

Aba-diddly-dee!

That's not a swing, that's a slide.

-Oh!

-Try climbing the ladder.

Weee!

A slide IS in the garden and you CAN play on it,

but a swing goes backwards and forwards.

ELA LAUGHS

SQUEAKING What's that noise?

Oh! What's this?

Hmm... A-ha!

Look, Ben, I've found something to swing on.

Haven't you forgotten something?

Er... Oh, yes!

That's better.

Ben, this must be a swing.

I can sit on it and it's swinging me backwards and forwards.

Well done, Ela, you found the swing.

I knew it! Ta-da!

# I found the word It was there all along

# The word is swing

# And now that word is in my song

# Ba ba shooby-doo-wah. #

SHE BANGS THE DRUM

Beep beep! Beep beep!

Can't catch me!

SHE LAUGHS

BEN CHUCKLES

Maybe you'll catch me next time.

I'm back in the book.

-Ela, you're back.

-I've had a fur-tastic time.

Why? What did you do?

I had lots of fun finding lots of things.

Fun things, like chocolate cake?

No, Hari!

The first thing I found was a trampoline.

What's a trampoline?

It's something you jump up and down on, like this.

Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!

THEY LAUGH

Then I found a slide.

-A slide?

-Yes.

It had a ladder on one side and a slidy chair bit on the other side.

But wasn't that the swing?

No, it wasn't, but it was lots of fun.

I went, "Weee!", all the way down.

But then I heard a noise. "Squeak, squeak."

"Squeak, squeak"?

It was a swing.

THEY GASP ALL: Wow!

You can swing backwards and forwards on it, like this.

Hmm... Oh, I see - like this.

Hi, from up high.

You guessed what the word swing looked like.

Thanks, Ben. I'm wiggly happy now.

You really are amazing Abadas.

It's time for me to go now.

We had fun today, didn't we?

ALL: Oh, yes, we did.

# It's time to say goodbye It was great to play

# Come back and see us once again some day

# Abadas, Abadas, some day. #

BEN LAUGHS

-Goodbye, Hari.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Seren.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye, Ela.

-Bye-bye.

See you soon.

BEN'S MUM: Ben!

# Let's play. #
