Boohbah Warm-Up

A Warm-Up occurs almost immediately after the beginning of an episode, after the Boohbahs have been awakened.

The segment starts with the Boohbahs, who are still hyperactive after flying around the Boohzone, running and spinning all over the place. Suddenly, a child calls out one of the Boohbahs' names, and that Boohbah runs up to the camera. The Boohbah who was called up stares at the camera, flashes their eyebrows, and move its eyes around (usually to the left, to the right, and then back to straight ahead).

After addressing themselves to the viewers, the Boohbah moves to the far left and begins to do a simple exercise. The child calls out each of the other Boohbahs' names in order, causing them to, one by one, address themselves in the same manner and do the same exercise as the first Boohbah (their leader). Afterwards, when every Boohbah has joined in (more instruments are added to the background music as each Boohbah starts exercising), they spend more or less than a minute warming up together at a slow and steady pace. As they exercise, sound effects like squeaking, squealing and bubbles popping are heard to accentuate the beat they move to.

Eventually, they start to pick up speed (the music does too), and a child rapidly chants "Boohbah" repeatedly until the Boohbahs lose control and the rainbow tint splashes past the camera from right to left. The Boohbahs resume frantically moving around, and to stop them the children use the special chant, causing the Boohbah to freeze, spread its arms and legs out, and retract their head. After a few seconds, when each Boohbah has stopped, the children shout out "Booh!" and the Boohbahs launch out of their pit, into the air, and into the Boohball (forming their skydiver formation halfway through their flight).

Unlike an end dance (when the Boohbahs perform, more complicated dance), the warm-up usually consists of only one movement, and is thus more easier for the viewer to follow along with. While there is no *set* lineup during a dance, the warm-up always have one Boohbah starting the routine up and the four joining in a particular order.
