Thoughts for the Week:

Most games arise from an inner need -- a need of our developing self. Peek-a-boo and hide-and-seek have always fascinated little children. That's because practicing little separations -- and returns -- makes the task of handling long ones more manageable. A game is often an important "growing" service.

Summary of the Week:

There's a visit with Olympic gold medal basketball player Suzie McConnell and children with disabilities practice for the Special Olympics, exploring lots of different ways of having fun. Besides the fun of working as a group on modern dance and folk singing, there's also the fun of playing a sport with others, like soccer or bowling.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe Daniel Tiger is feeling left out because he is not on a team and that's something that isn't fun for anyone. Once the neighbors join together on a team, they find they are all winners because they all have fun.
