Hey.

Yeah, it's me.

I know.

A little hard to tell.

Hold on one second.

That's better.

So the craziest thing happened right before you got here.

Out of nowhere, a time machine appears.

And naturally, I couldn't resist.

I crawled in, and bam!

Suddenly I'm back in time... in this... and...this.

Although this art is pretty cool.

Everyday life sure is different here.

No electricity, not a light bulb in sight.

And don't even get me started on trying to find a cellphone.

[ Animals roaring ] Okay.

And I'm done.

Time to travel back to the present.

Care to join me?

Okay, then.

Get ready for a trip through the ages, because today is Time Warp Day on "Camp TV."

[ Animals roaring ] Now run!

Arts and crafts?

Yes, please!

Let's Get Artsy.

Did you know that artists sometimes like to play when they draw?

We're going to take a look at that today.

Way back in the early 1900s, 1920s in Paris, there was a group of artists called the Surrealists, and they loved to play a game called the Exquisite Corpse.

It was a drawing game that involved creating really original characters.

We're going to try to play that game today.

To start this fun game, I need to fold a piece of paper in thirds.

I'm going to take turns drawing parts of a character.

I'm actually going to play this game with my helper, Pencil.

The trick is, is that we aren't going to be able to see what each of us has drawn.

So I'm going to draw the head of the character in the top third of the paper.

I'm drawing whatever comes out of my imagination.

I guess I'm drawing a monster, doing a little bit of coloring and shading.

And when I'm done with the head of the monster, I have to draw little tiny lines into the next section, into the next third of the paper, so that Pencil knows where to start drawing the body.

But she's not going to be able to see the head that I drew.

I'm folding it over and hiding it so that she can't see it.

So now I'm going to hand it to her and she's going to draw the body.

Alright, Pencil.

Here you go.

Let's see what you can do.

Ooh, this is fun!

But no peeking.

Seriously, no peeking!

Jeff: I think she's almost done.

And here it is.

And look, she has extended these little lines onto the bottom third of the page so that I know where to draw the character's legs.

I did the head, then she did the body, and now I'm doing the legs.

I'm actually going to use a little bit of paint here, and I've always liked drawing chicken legs for some reason, so I think that's what I'm going to do here.

This should be very interesting.

When we open it up.

Here it is, our finished character.

My head, Pencil's body, and then the feet that I drew.

What I like about this game is that many people can play.

Everybody can take a turn drawing a section.

And because everybody draws in different ways and in different styles, we end up with these original characters.

My challenge for you is for you to play the same game with the folded piece of paper.

Find a friend or a family member to play with you.

It's interesting.

After playing that fun, Exquisite Corpse game with Pencil, I find myself appreciating some of the artwork in the Guggenheim Museum.

I'm looking closely at the different ways that artists draw and paint faces and figures.

Lots of different techniques, and I appreciate that even more after playing the game and seeing how different techniques and styles can come together into a character.

Well, I'm off to play ball with some of my friends, but I am thinking about that character we drew.

I would love to see our character be real and actually come to life.

♪♪ Zach: Ready for some math that counts?

Count On!

♪♪ ♪♪ Zach: You took the words right out of my mouth.

Write On.

Some adventure stories have a character going on a long and difficult journey to find a specific object.

That journey is called a quest, and the item that they're trying to find is called the quest object.

Today, we are going to be creating a quest object for an adventure story of our very own.

I am on a quest to seek out the most glorious and sought-after objects in all the land.

A cup.

A cup?

A quest object needs to be more special than just a cup.

It needs cool details that help it stand apart from every other cup.

It also needs to have something incredibly special about it -- something so special that it would make you go on a long and difficult journey just to find it.

Of course.

Perhaps this cup is bejeweled and it glows.

And it has the ability to instantly brew any potion you need.

Wow.

That is a quest object.

What do you call it?

Brace yourself, Lindsey.

Okay.

It's looking really important, but it's not sounding really important.

I think what you need is a name that's a proper noun.

Now, we all know that a noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing.

A cup is a noun.

Yes, but a proper noun is when that person, place or thing has a specific name to show that it's this specific cup.

Maybe something like... Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

And just like your name, Andrew, starts with a capital letter, all of the important words in a proper noun also start with a capital letter.

Oh, like "cup," "fiery," and "awesomeness!"

Yeah.

Like those.

And the little words in a proper noun, like "the" and "of" don't usually need to be capitalized.

But make sure you capitalize all of the main words, that way, the reader knows that those words are important.

This quest object is too special not to find.

Come along, Everlasting Fanny Pack.

Stay close to my feet, Comfy Socks of Ultimate Ankle Support.

Andrews Epic and Fabulous Adventure awaits!

Happy adventuring.

Zach: Music, dance, magic, and more.

Step right up to Center Stage.

Hey, everybody, Mr. Hines here with the New York Philharmonic.

And in this short video, I'm going to show you how to make some basic instruments out of recyclable materials.

Here's a basic triple-drum bongo you can make with just some recyclable materials, some tape to hold it together, and something to hit it with.

Keep in mind, the most interesting sounds come from different sizes, different materials.

[ Drumming ] ♪♪ Here's a basic shaker.

Now, I've tried three different materials inside to see if I can get some different sounds.

I started with lentils.

[ Rattling ] Now let's try some rice.

[ Rattling ] Not bad.

The last one is a mystery.

I'm not going to tell you what's inside.

Let's see if you can guess.

[ Hollow rattling ] Now, let's try a string instrument.

This one uses a cardboard tube that I can move to change the tension of the rubber bands, changing the pitch.

♪♪ ♪♪ Here's my attempt at making a lion's roar with a piece of string or rope and an empty plastic container.

Unfortunately, it sounds a little bit more like a baby lion with a cold.

[ Squeaky scraping ] You can also turn it into a gut bucket.

[ Twanging ] Lastly, here's the famous oboe made out of a plastic straw.

Snip, snip, make a hole, and you're ready to go.

♪♪ This has been Mr. Hines with the New York Philharmonic.

Zach: Curiosity and wonder -- let's discover together.

It's Science Wow!

Let's build a string telephone so you and a friend can talk long distances.

Carefully use your scissors to make a small hole in the bottom of each cup.

Push one end of the string through the bottom of the cup and tie a paperclip to the end.

Now have a friend take one cup across the room, pull the string tight, and listen for their voice to travel to you through the string telephone.

[ Muffled conversation ] ♪♪ Your voice vibrates the air in the cup, which vibrates the cup, then the string.

That vibration travels all the way through the string and exits the cup and enters your ear.

That's amazing.

You've created your very own string telephone.

Try designing your own string telephone with different types of string or even different types of cups to see how the vibrations travel through those materials.

And remember, until next time, keep learning.

Full steam ahead.

Zach: Music, dance, magic, and more.

Step right up to Center Stage.

Hi, musical explorers.

My name is Starr and this is Seth, and we're so excited to sing freedom songs with you today.

Let's Get Cooking.

♪♪ Welcome back to Time Warp Day on "Camp TV."

I hope you're enjoying the trip so far.

Look who I just found -- Chewy, my favorite toy from when I was younger.

I've always loved dinosaurs and still do.

To think, these incredible beasts actually roamed the earth millions of years ago.

And how do we know?

Fortunately, they left lots of clues, one of them being fossils.

Fossils are nature's way of recording something that lived a long, long, long time ago.

And here's how.

Imagine, a dinosaur goes for a walk on a prehistoric day and it leaves a footprint in some wet soil, mud, or sand.

If the footprint dries out over time and more layers of soil, mud, and sand cover it, the footprint can remain tucked inside, just waiting for someone to discover it.

And when you have the good fortune of seeing a fossil up close, it's like getting to see a snapshot from time, long, long ago.

And the imprint can make quite an impact, which got me thinking.

Chewy has made a big impact on my life.

He's the reason I got interested in dinosaurs in the first place.

Now it's time to return the favor.

Let's make some dinosaur footprint cookies.

You will need one cup of unsalted butter at room temperature, one cup of sugar, one egg, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, three cups of flour, two teaspoons of baking powder, and a half a teaspoon of salt.

With the help of an adult, combine the butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy.

♪♪ Mix in the egg and vanilla and set the bowl aside.

♪♪ In another bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together -- the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add it to the first bowl and mix until it forms a loose dough.

♪♪ Place the dough onto a clean surface and knead it until it forms a ball.

Divide the dough equally into little balls and flatten them with your hands until they're about a quarter-inch thick.

I like to keep my edges rough so they look like real fossils.

Then you put the cookies on a baking sheet at least one inch apart.

♪♪ After you've checked with an adult that the dinosaur you want to use is food safe, wash his or her feet -- your dinosaur's, not your adult's -- and dry them off and dust them with some flour so that they don't stick to the cookies.

Now, come to my favorite part.

Get stomping.

Chewy, may I?

Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp.

Really press down into the center of the cookie so that it makes a footprint -- not to mention a lasting impression.

Ask your adult to help you carefully place the cookie sheet in the oven that's been preheated to 350 degrees.

Let them bake 6 to 8 minutes.

Carefully remove the pan.

Let them cool and marvel at your dino delicious footprint cookies.

Chewy, this one's for you.

Mmm!

Want a bite?

[ Dinosaur chomps ] Whoa.

Zach: A little birdie told me it's time to Go Wild.

♪♪ Tuatara are New Zealand's largest living reptile, and here's five things you need to know about them.

♪♪ Number one -- there's only one place in the world you can find wild tuatara, and that's on the small, offshore islands off the coast of New Zealand.

♪♪ Number two, their closest relatives died out in the same extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

Scientists sometimes refer to them as living fossils because their family is so old.

Number three, tuatara are crepuscular, which means they're most active at dawn and dusk.

♪♪ Number four, they live for a very long time.

There are tuatara alive today that are over 100 years of age.

♪♪ Number five, tuatara means "old spiny back" in New Zealand's native language, Te Reo Maori.

And if you look closely, you can see exactly how they got that name.

♪♪ It's not every day you get to see a living fossil.

Zach: Take a breath.

Take a moment.

It's time for mindfulness.

[ Sighs ] ♪♪ Hi, I'm Kira Willy, and I'm glad you're here to breathe with me.

Imagine you're a bear hibernating for the winter.

Take a long breath in through your nose.

Let it all the way out.

Take a long breath in through your nose.

Let it all the way out.

Keep breathing like this and feel how relaxed and warm and safe you are in your cozy bear cave.

Bear Breath is a great way to calm ourselves down.
