Barney & Friends: 4×16 Easy, Breezy Day (1997) – KCET broadcast

A spell of breezy weather is all that’s needed to launch Barney and his friends into a day of fun, adventure and discovery.

The Adventure Screen shows the wind’s effects in many forms, and Barney explains that the sun’s heat is what helps start the air in motion. The children play several “windy” activities and games, including a bubble chase, a sailboat race (using fans made with the Barney Bag), and BJ’s favorite, the “parachute flap.” Ashley’s desired “wind” activity seems out of reach – she’d love to go flying in a real hot-air balloon! But, with a little imagination and a friend like Barney, anything might happen on this easy, breezy day!... Read More
