Barney & Friends WTVS Schedule August 2003

A tree house clean-up project becomes an exercise in discovering new ways to use old things. In the process, the children learn how to make the earth a cleaner, happier place. Barney makes the entire task fun by staging an unusual treasure hunt.
-Barney and his friends prepare for Old King Cole's visit by using their imaginations. After visiting Booker T. Bookworm at the school library, the children learn about the different components of castles. They transform the tree house into their own castle. Upon his arrival, Old King Cole kicks up his heels at the sight of the preparations and treats everyone to a royal celebration.
As the children plant a window box garden, a bee buzzing by sparks their interest in bees and honey. Barney helps the children discover that bees are honey-producing insects. Mr. Boyd adds to the experience by demonstrating his hobby as a beekeeper.
Barney puts together a fun-filled day with the children piece by piece -- like a puzzle! The day's first piece is playing trains; the second piece is a game of hide and seek; the third piece is dress up; the fourth piece is reading a book; and the fifth piece is dancing and singing. At the end of the day, their puzzle is complete and along the way they learn the concept of ordinal numbers!

A visit from Ashley and Alissa's Aunt Rachel inspires the children to have a party in her honor. As the preparations are made, with the help of Barney, Scooter McNutty and Miss Etta Kette, the children share their favorite memories surrounding their own aunts, uncles and cousins.
A rainy day becomes a day of learning and storytelling with Barney and his friends. Barney helps the children learn about rain and rainstorms. Stella reinforces this lesson with a story about the rain forest.
Barney introduces the children to the benefits of wheels, ramps and pulleys when they have the task of moving a heavy trunk. The simple machines teach the children the value of working together, while using the most efficient resources available.
Barney helps Chip teach his little sister, Linda, the letters in her name. All of the children have fun with alphabet activities.
Booker T. Bookworm is anxious to show Barney and the children the new computers in the library. Danny demonstrates basic computer skills that provide fun and imaginative adventures for all.

After receiving a letter from a friend who has moved away, Barney and his friends decide to send her a special package. With BJ as the official photographer, Barney and the children fill the package with many of Samantha's favorite things. BJ's photos of the day's efforts show the children how much fun they had being good friends.
When the kids yearn for special play in special places, Barney reminds them that their imaginations can create joy from the simplest of props … like a common stick! It can be a baseball bat a flute, a pirate's shovel, a tent pole, a rocket's throttle, or even a magic wand! Barney and his friends learn how to use their imaginations in order to make ordinary lots of fun.
Barney and the children are enjoying a beautiful day playing outside! They decide to have a picnic, but just as they begin to eat, a few uninvited guests come crawling. Barney leads the group on a funtastic hiking expedition where they discover many different bugs and insects.
The children learn how special grandparents are while preparing for a surprise party for Kim's grandparents. Jeff misses his grandparents because they live in the Philippines, so BJ suggest making a special gift for them. The children all join in to make presents for their grandparents. When Kim's grandparents arrive for the party, everyone celebrates and learns that grandparents know how to have fun, too.
Barney helps his friends learn about healthy snacks. Chip's mom has packed a bag full of healthy snacks such as apples, carrots, and nuts. Everyone shares the snacks and decides to have a pretend restaurant in the classroom. Baby Bop learns how to try new foods, and they all learn where a variety of foods come from with the help of the Adventure Screen. Even Stella stops by with a story of the 'Little Red Hen' which helps the children better understand how bread is made.

Robert had a terrific time on his beach vacation this summer, and he has the pictures to prove it. Robert's pictures inspire Barney and the kids to have a little fun in the sun! Hot summer fun is great, but as Keesha tells them about her Aunt Betty's gifts, the kids long for an icy adventure on a cold's winter day. With a little Barney magic they got their wish and play the day away in a snowy wonderland.
Barney and the kids experience the fun of creating and appreciating various forms of art as they work together to decorate the school for the upcoming Open House. When BJ arrives, he is worried about Baby Bop -- she's at home because she's not feeling well. Inspired by the kid's artwork, he decides to make something to cheer her up. Barney and his friends share some ideas with BJ, and finally he creates a treasure she's sure to love.
A school lesson about 'Explorers' prompts the kids to want to explore their own world -- but they're not sure they've got the right equipment for the job. Barney appears and shows them that everyone can explore the world using their own 'five senses' Barney has five boxes -- one representing each of the five senses -- and each with a fun game or surprise inside! Everyone learns that the very best way to explore the world is by using your imagination, and, of course, spending the day with Barney!
The kids are getting ready for Show and Tell at school. Some show their special treasures to their friends giving them lots of opportunities to count these collections -- and other things -- while they play. Emily keeps her Show and Tell a surprise, while Stephen's box of hats makes dress-up fun that even Barney can't resist. Everyone helps Baby Bop search for something for her Show and Tell presentation. And, finally, Emily is ready to reveal her surprise.
Barney and the children learn about the zoo and different animals that live there, after Robert comes back from his own trip to the zoo. Stella gives the children a special present to give to an animal at the zoo -- but which one? The mysterious gift has an attached card with clues to help them figure out which animal should receive the gift. When the zookeeper comes to pick up the present, the children learn even more about the zoo and its animals. With the help of Barney and Stella's gift, everyone has fun learning something new!

Robert was to celebrate his birthday with his friends. He sets out to find them and, with Barney's help he does -- along with some wonderful surprises. His birthday turns into a fiesta, complete with simple, homemade 'maracas' and a beautiful pinata. Everyone has a great time while learning about taking turns, growing up, and family traditions. At the end of the day, Robert thanks Barney and the other children for making his birthday special.
