Alakazambra!

Full Episode description

This week, in the The Imagine Neighborhood™, a powerful wizard comes searching for Count Vacula. It’s Alakazambra the Demon-Hunter! To complete her magic spell, she needs the teeth of an angry vampire. But . . . Vac’s not angry. In fact, he’s usually hungry and a little bit nervous.

Alakazambra needs some help figuring out how other people are feeling. This skill can come in handy, whether you’re making a new friend, trying to figure out what someone else needs or wants, or finding angry vampire teeth to complete a magic spell!

When you’re trying to understand what another person is feeling, you can look for clues in their face, body, and situation. Are their eyes wide open, narrowed, or closed? Are they standing with their arms crossed or fists clenched? Are they at a surprise birthday party, a petting zoo, or a spooky haunted house? All of these things can help you identify what they might be feeling. Alakazambra gets some good practice, and you can too!
