Barbie's Beach Cleanup Party

On the first warm Saturday of summer, Barbie biked along the shore and noticed the sand sparkling the wrong way. Among seaweed, shells, and driftwood, she spotted bottle caps, plastic forks, shiny snack wrappers, and a ribbon a gull kept tugging. A crab nearly tangled itself in a knot of fishing line. The sight put a twist in her heart-the kind that whispers, "Do something." She parked by the lifeguard tower and watched two kids hopscotch around a stack of cans. "It shouldn't be this hard to play," she thought. A breeze lifted her hair, and an idea arrived bright and sure, like a kite catching wind: what if cleaning the beach could feel like a party? What if picking up litter came with music, cheers, and sand sculptures, turning care into the most exciting event of the season?

She named it right away-Barbie's Beach Cleanup party-and pictured the day unfolding in color and song. Live music would make the shoreline laugh. Trash-grab relays would turn picking up litter into a game. A sand-sculpture contest, themed "Homes of the Sea," would celebrate the creatures they were protecting. Prizes would be earth-friendly-reusable, recyclable, or plantable.

There would be refill stations for water, sorting zones for recycling and compost, and a learning tent where ocean helpers like the local marine rescue team could teach gentle ways to keep seabirds and sea turtles safe. Best of all, every game would double as a cleanup challenge. "Trash-grab relays, live music, and sand-sculpture contests will transform a cleanup into a celebration," Barbie said aloud, hearing the words settle like a song she already knew. "Volunteers will collect mountains of litter, proving service can sparkle with joy."

She called her friends-Skipper, Stacie, Chelsea, Nikki, Teresa, and Ken-and that evening they met on the boardwalk beneath a pink sky while pelicans glided like slow arrows. Barbie shared her vision: music booths, relay flags, safe hands, joyful hearts. Ideas bloomed. Chelsea imagined banners. Ken planned safety and shade.

Nikki saw posters in caf?windows. Skipper hummed a sunny tune. Teresa opened a notebook and sketched a tiny tent. Stacie pressed her heel in the sand to mark a starting line. Together, they felt the first small tent of a plan flutter open, bright and ready to turn care into celebration.
