Episode guide[]
| Picture | Segment | Description |
|---|---|---|
 
|
Intro | On its travels, the Boohball flies to Egypt and India. |
|
Warm-Up | Following Jumbah's lead, the Boohbahs do some very peculiar jumping jacks: they make themselves as thin as they could be upon jumping and come down standing wide. |
|
Storyworld | The children blow in a bunch of musical instruments for the Storypeople to play: Mr Man plays a flute, Auntie plays a trumpet, Sister plays a saxophone, Brother plays a trombone, and Grandpappa plays a sousaphone. They all make a racket with their respective instruments before running into each other and falling down, at which point the children blow in one more instrument: a big drum, which Grandmamma claims upon her arrival (as she had done before). Together, under her lead, the impromptu band do a dance number and march down the beach as they play their musical instruments. |
| Boohbah Dance | More marching is to be had with the Boohbahs as they perform a dance full of magical marching moves.
This dance was originally performed in "Big Bass Drum". |
