Alphablocks字母积木 Season 1 Episode 05 Key
When C and K find out they make the same sound, they decide to hold a contest. Who will win?
Story
C is cracking cracks to her sound. She meets her brother K who is kicking the ball to his sound while R counts the keep-ups. C thought K is copying her. C’s cracks ruin K’s keep-ups. C and K decide a contest. K does it on E and Y.
k-ey, KEY!
And a key appears.
C says her sound is the best. She does it on A, G, and E.
c-a-g-e, CAGE!
A cage falls onto everyone except E, G, and Y. As K takes the key to the locked door, there is no keyhole. So, C and K join together to make the CK sound.
How will they get out?
UCHEWS!
- LICK – L, I, and CK lick an ice-cream.
- ROCK – The cage is rocking.
- SACK – S jumps in a sack race.
- SICK – S, I, and CK turn green, and their letter tops turn red.
- SOCK – A stinky sock appears.
- LOCK (star word) – A keyhole appears on the door. K frees himself, C, and the other Alphablocks.

Errors

- R’s hat is missing while the cage is rocking.
- When K opens the cage, everyone but L escapes. It’s unknown why.
- Y in the EY digraph should be striped, because it’s working as a vowel.
