The Trying Game is the eleventh episode of Blue's Clues from the first season. It was the tenth episode aired in the United States.

Summary

"Blue wants to practice, but practice what? In addition to finding Blue's Clues, we practice telling time with Tickety Tock, and we figure out what Baby Bear wants to be when she grows up. Then we predict what tadpoles, caterpillars and a spider will look like when they grow up."

Elements

  • Question: What does Blue want to try to do?
  • Clues:
    • 1. A horn
    • 2. A basket
    • 3. A wheel
  • Answer to Blue's Clues: Ride a bicycle
  • Incorrect answer: Put the wheel in the basket and honk the horn
  • Living room picture: A block tower
  • Skidoo location: Storybook Forest

Recap

Steve invites the viewers inside the house to try their best in the hopes of learning something, or getting even better at something we already know how to do. With Blue's encouragement, Steve takes up juggling, he starts with one ball, then two and three. We help Tickety to tell what time it is by associating times with familiar objects and rituals. In Storybook Forest, we find Baby Bear. We also help young animals find their parents, noting that some animals change forms as they grow up. Blue learns to ride a bike.

  • Steve dances like in the movie Saturday Night Fever at the beginning of We Just Figured Out Blue's Clues.
  • When Steve says "Yes! Yes!" after getting rid of the pawprint, his voice was taken from the episode Blue's Favorite Song, but it is low pitched.
