[Song] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Hide, hide, hide, hide, hide, hide. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Hide, hide, hide, I'm gonna find my friends.

[Water bubbles]

DESCRIPTION: The starfish hides, and the blue-haired mini smiley swims. The starfish hides behind seaweed but moves when they see the mini smiley swim toward their spot. The mini smiley opens an oyster, and the starfish swims out and spins.

[Song] So, let’s play. Let’s have fun. Oh, let’s gather all around to play under the sun. Let’s play. Let’s have fun. Oh, don’t you make any sun once the game has begun.

DESCRIPTION: The mini smiley turns its back on their friends, and the starfish, pufferfish, and squid swim away while the whale stays. The starfish swims to a treasure chest and discovers the pufferfish already hiding inside. The starfish swims to the seaweed and discovers the squid hiding there.

[Song] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Hide, hide, hide, hide, hide, hide. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Hide, hide, hide, I'm gonna find my friends.

[Water bubbles]

DESCRIPTION: The mini smiley taps the treasure chest, and the lid opens. The pufferfish swims out. The mini smiley finds the squid behind the seaweed. The mini smiley opens the oyster, and the starfish swims out. They both laugh.

[Song] Let’s play. Let’s have fun. Oh, let’s gather all around to play under the sun. Let’s play. Let’s have fun. Oh, don’t you make any sun once the game has begun.

[Water bubbles]

DESCRIPTION: The mini smiley turns their back, and everyone swims away. The mini smiley finds the pufferfish behind a rock, the squid behind seaweed, and the starfish in the oyster. Everyone looks around, then gathers around the treasure chest. The chest shakes, and then the whale moves, revealing their hiding spot as a rock under the chest. The others hug the whale, and everyone smiles.

[Song] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Hide, hide, hide, hide, hide, hide. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Hide, hide, hide, I'm gonna find my friends. So, let’s play. Let’s have fun. Oh, let’s gather all around to play under the sun. Let’s play. Let’s have fun. Oh, don’t you make any sun once the game has begun.
