Ni Hao, Kai-lan

Today is the Dragonboat Festival! Kai-lan and her friends are sooo excited to race dragonboats on the river! Kai-lan can't wait to meet a real dragon at the end of the races. Kai-lan rows in a boat with her best friend, Rintoo the tiger. But when they lose the first race, Rintoo gets so mad that he whacks their boat on top of a pagoda. It's up to Kai-lan and the viewer to figure out how to help Rintoo calm down so they can finish the races and meet the friendly dragon!

Kai-lan notices Ye Ye's gardening hat, and is inspired to make a hat of her own. When everyone in the backyard start making hats too, Kai-lan declares that they should have a hat parade! Rintoo makes a very original hat that everyone loves.  But when Hoho copies Rintoo's hat, Rintoo doesn't like it. Kai-lan and the viewer need to find a way to show Rintoo that copying can be a compliment, so the hat parade can go on!

Today's the big lantern festival to celebrate the end of Chinese New Year! Ye-Ye gives Kai-lan some lanterns for her and her friends to decorate.

Kai-lan discovers some mysterious footprints, so there's only one thing to do – lead her friends on a safari through the backyard to find out who made them! During their journey, they meet a big, friendly elephant named Stompy, and Kai-lan invites him on the safari. But when everyone is delighted to see Stompy do cool things because he's so big, Rintoo becomes jealous and leaves. Kai-lan and the viewer must figure out how to show Rintoo that there's something special about him too – he's really really fast! Soon he isn't feeling jealous anymore and they can continue the safari to find out who made those tracks!

Kai-lan invents a game – Twirly Whirly Flyers – where she and her friends twirl flower blossoms into the air to try to get them into a big tree. Kai-lan and her friends get so wrapped up in the game that they don't notice that the flowers are causing problems for the ants who live in a small metropolis inside a bush. When Tolee accidentally loses his balance and breaks the ants' bridge, he isn't sure what to do. Kai-lan and the viewer need to help Tolee realize that if you make a problem for someone, you need to say sorry and then help to fix it. Tolee, Kai-lan, and the others help the ants repair their bridge, then invite the ants to play Twirly Whirly Flyers with them!

Kai-lan wakes up to see snow blanketing the whole backyard! She finds a great hill for sledding, and sees some beautiful ice sculptures down at the bottom. After borrowing a sled from Ye Ye, she gathers all her friends together to sled down the hill. Everyone is very excited – except for Tolee, who dashes off the sled at the last minute and runs away. It turns out that he's scared. It's up to Kai-lan and the viewer to help Tolee overcome his fear of sledding – by breaking it down into small, manageable steps, and taking things little by little. First they start with a small hill, then a medium-sized hill, then finally the big hill. Tolee gets over his fear and soon everyone is zooming down the hill on the way to the magical and mysterious ice sculptures!
