Why Do We Play?

Season 1 · Episode 2 · Sep 8, 2020

In today’s episode at the zoo, Maddie is having fun playing! She discovers that playing helps us to learn new things. She uses her special camera on a pole to see a tiger use its brain, eyes and paws together to learn by picking things up and moving them around. Maddie shows us how our brain and bodies work together to help us when we’re learning to do new things too, like ride a scooter, and that when we try again and again to learn something new it’s called perseverance. She discovers that a giraffe uses perseverance to stand up, balance and walk on the same day it is born! Next, Maddie cleans up giraffe poo to find out how teamwork can help us to do things quicker. She visits the African hunting dogs and find out how they use teamwork to share food, and she uses her special night vision camera to see how they snuggle together to keep each other warm.
