Helping and Playing Little Human Planet

# In a big round planet out in big starry space

# Let's meet our friends around the world and go from place to place

# Our life may be so different Different country, different names

# Different language, different climate

# But inside we're just the same

# Let's meet our friends around the world, hello and how are you?

# We are the children of the world, we are its future, too

# We are, let's meet our friends around the world, we are... #

-We're off on a journey around the world.

-Who will we meet today?

All over the world, children like to help grown-ups.

Helping to grind roots in the jungle.

Or mix food in Brazil.

Or picking the red corn on the cob.

In Mongolia, this four-year-old girl is collecting sticks.

Her mum will light a fire to cook.

This is Nchigwa and his dad.

Hello, Nchigwa!

He lives in a desert in Kenya, Africa.

He's helping his dad fill a trough with water

for the thirsty animals to have a drink.

But first, his bucket has to be filled from the deep well.

Well done! The animals will like that.

-Three thirsty goats.

-Yes.

Bye!

-This is six-year-old Lania.

-Hello, Lania!

Lania and her sister are going to help their aunt collect yams.

They pull the yams from the ground.

Lania carefully puts the yams in her basket.

Then she walks back to her home.

Next, it's time to clean the yams and scrub all the mud from them.

Then they can be cooked.

Out in the ocean, some families live on boats. Everyone has a job to do.

This little girl is helping to wash clothes.

-She's really busy.

-She IS very busy.

Then they have to collect the dry clothes from the line.

This is five-year-old Mamakeianta.

-Hello, Mamakeianta!

-He lives in Mali, in Africa.

He and his dad are collecting mud from the riverbed.

They collect the squelchy mud from the ground.

They put it into their baskets.

When the baskets are full, they carefully carry them home.

What are they going to do with it?

They're using the mud to help mend the wall.

They rub and spread the mud all over the cracks and bumps.

Great job, Mamakeianta! Bye!

But of course, children all over the world like to play, too.

-And relax!

-That looks so much fun!

Splash!

Children from all over the world love helping and love playing, too.
