Hey friends at home.
- Oh hey Omar.
I see you have your helmet on.
Where are you headed?
- Join me on my bike ride.
I love riding my bike.
It's my favorite way to move around the place that I live.
[whimsical music] I like biking 'cause I can fit in small spaces where a car might gets stuck.
And when I bike I get to feel the air on my face as I pedal.
I was headed home, I was commuting in New York City.
That's where I live.
[whimsical music continues] - [Lily] I love how careful you are on your bike, Omar.
- [Omar] Well safety is so important when biking.
I make sure to always pay attention to the sights and sounds around me and of course I always wear my helmet.
- [Lily] That's good thinking.
[whimsical music continues] - [Omar] To get home, I biked beside the water.
[whimsical music continues] Over the Brooklyn Bridge.
[whimsical music continues] Around the Prospect Park loop.
And then straight home.
I made it.
Thanks so much for joining me.
Friends at home, do you like to go for a bike ride with your trusted adult?
Where do you like to bike to?
- Wow, Omar, you rode your bike in such interesting ways and you know what I can kind of see in my mind the ways you moved throughout the city.
Maybe we could make a map, a map of those movements.
- A map, that's a great idea.
I do that bike ride a lot, so a map would be really helpful.
Lily, friends at home, help me make a map.
What do you remember of my bike ride?
How did I move through the city?
- Hmm.
Well, first you went beside the water.
Oh, then over the Brooklyn Bridge and around the loop in Prospect Park.
- [Omar] And then straight home.
Wow, thanks Lily.
Now that I have this map, I can be sure that I won't get lost.
Friends at home, aren't maps cool?
What maps have you seen before?
Have you seen any of these?
[light mellow music] Lily, all this talk of maps has given me an idea for a map making game.
One that leads to treasure.
Let's make movement maps.
Movement maps are a step-by-step guide for how to move through a space.
When you follow the steps correctly, you'll find the squiggly treasure.
But where will we move?
We need to find a place where there are lots of ways you can move around.
- Oh, I know, Omar, let's go to the playground.
- Yes, that's perfect.
Grab your jacket, let's go.
[mid-tempo music] Our playground has a few features that we'll be moving through.
There's a bumpy curvy arch.
Lily and I like to pretend that they're giant legs.
Then there's the swing set.
And the long ramp with a little slide.
Then the big swirly slide.
The bouncy chairs.
And the tire swing.
Okay, Lily, I'm going to place the squiggly treasure at the bottom of the big swirly slide.
Now, I'm going to show you how to move to get there.
You'll go under the giant legs, zigzag through the swing set and slide down the big swirly slide.
- Okay, I got it.
Under the legs, zigzag through the swing set and down the slide.
I got it, here I go.
[light whimsical music] Under the giant legs.
[light whimsical music continues] Zigzag through the swings.
Slide down.
I did it, I found the squiggly treasure.
Okay Omar, now it's your turn to do a movement map.
Mm, I know.
I'll place the squiggly treasure on top of the giant legs.
Now to show you how to move.
Okay, you'll go between the railings, down the little slide, then to the bouncy chairs.
Bounce one, two, three, four times.
Then around the tire swing and on top of the legs, that's the treasure.
- Okay.
Between the railings, down the little slide.
Bounce one, two, three, four, around the tire swing.
There it is, the treasure.
Here I go.
Okay, between the railings.
Down the little slide.
[upbeat whimsical music] Bounce one, two, three, four.
Fly around the tire swing.
And there it is, the squiggly treasure.
- Oh, I feel like I know that playground so much better, Omar.
- Yeah, me too.
Friends at home, thanks for moving and mapping with us.
See you.
- Bye.
