Overview

In this video from the Johnny and the Sprites episode, "The Sprites' Rules". Johnny gives the Sprites an idea of making rules so they can work functionally. However, the Sprites get carried away and find themselves dancing, singing, and humming continuously. They go back to Johnny to ask him what went wrong. The video can be played to introduce a lesson on describing how rules provide order, security, and safety in the home, school, and community.  The video is 3 minutes and 32 seconds in length.
