 	SCENE 1 	Zoe greets the viewer from the day care center, where everyone is reading a list of activities. She asks Gina, who's inspecting the broken sink nearby, why a list is important, and asks her to name the order of activities - first is fingerpainting, then playing a game, and lastly reading a story. Everyone wants to start fingerpainting, but due to the sink being broken they can't, and Gina postpones the activity until the sink is fixed.

To fill their time, Gina decides to lead everyone into the second activity - a game of "Stop!"
