Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Gordon and the kids gather around a blindfolded Cookie Monster, who wants to play a game of "Hide and Seek the Cookie." He asks Gordon to hide the cookie, and then he will try to find it. The kids help the monster count to 10 while Gordon places the cookie somewhere.

 	SCENE 2 	Cookie Monster wanders over to the Fix-It Shop, where Luis is working on a bike. Cookie's sense of smell isn't helping him find the cookie, so he decides to use the sense of touch instead. He feels about for something round and bites what he believes is a cookie, but is actually a bike tire (to Luis' annoyance).

 	SCENE 3 	Cookie finds himself in Hooper's Store now. Mr. Hooper tries to give him some help by reminding him that cookies are round, but also flat and usually smooth. Cookie feels around for something like that and finds something that fits that description. After taking a nosh, he discovers it's not a cookie, but one of the cushions for the barstool. He tells Mr. Hooper to save it so he can have it for dessert later.

 	SCENE 5 	Mr. Hooper, Gordon, and Luis discuss a bunch of other round and flat things that have bites taken out of them: a frisbee, a stack of plates, and a manhole cover. Cookie Monster removes his blindfold, giving up the game. Gordon helps him out by giving him some clues as to where the cookie is - it's on top of something that's big, blue, metallic, sits on the street, and people put letters into it. Cookie Monster gets the idea and runs off to...
 	SCENE 5 cont'd	...the mailbox, where the cookie is waiting! He scarfs it down, when Mr. Hooper reveals he's procured another cookie for him. Cookie Monster decides to save it and proposes other games they could play with it (such as "King of the Mountain Cookie" or "Cookie, Cookie, Who's Got the Cookie?"). Everyone leaves, so Cookie plays a solo game of "Eat the Cookie" (which he wins).
