Official synopsis[]

Come and do silly sideways Boohbah steps, and a jumping Bungee Boo dance. In Storyworld, Mrs Lady finds a springy jack in a box, and the key to making it jump up and down. Brother and Sister get a turn too, but can they all jump high enough?

Intro On its travels, the Boohball flies to Spain and the USA.

In the US version, the Boohball travels to Spain, the USA, and South Africa.

Sideways Steps Warm-Up The Boohbahs follow Humbah's lead as they take some sideways steps.
014 Jack in the Box Storyworld The children blow a jack-in-the-box into Storyworld. Mrs. Lady arrives and winds it up a few times when Brother and Sister arrive (with all of them being surprised by the jack springing out). Sister gives the box another wind, and then Brother winds it as fast as he can; so fast, that the jack zings out even higher than it did before! Mrs. Lady, Brother, and Sister all try to jump as high as the jack, but it appears to be no use...until the children blow in a bouncy trampoline for each of them and, just when the jack goes back into its box, unwind its key with another strong blow (and then another) so they can all bounce around together!
Boohbah Dance The Boohbahs get in on the springy action back in the Boohzone, too, as they perform a jumping Bungee Boo dance.

Trivia[]

  • The book "The Springy Zingy Box" is based on this episode.
  • This is the first episode to have Spain & USA as the 2 country intro, the "Sideways Steps" warm-up, and the "Bungee Boo Dance".
  • The "3 bouncy things" are called trampolines.
  • The "somebody's coming" music has an alternate arrangment and doesn't play for when Brother and Sister come, it only plays for when Mrs Lady comes. Although, a variation on the normal arrangement plays for when she walks in the scene.
  • This is the second US episode to have extra dances Spin Around/Wobbling; this version also happens in "Musical Pipe", "Building Blocks", "Horn", "Sticky Wrapper", "Hole In The Fence", and "Bouncy Castle".
