ScreamBlue Challenge - Bedroom/Obstacle Course/Promises/Omelette/Born Yesterday

Old episodes of Scream Street are airing in Australia! To celebrate, I've thought up five writing prompts based on I.B.F.Fs for you to try, based on the five new Bluey episodes that aired on ABC Kids this week.
Bedroom:
Write about you, Luke, Resus and Cleo helping Bluey turn her old nursery into her new room and using the scents of lemon and strawberries to help get her and her sister Bingo closer to one another.
Obstacle Course:
Write a story where you, Bluey and a few selected friends from Scream Street and Bluey of your choice compete in a tough army-style obstacle course for a chance at playing at the big playground.
Promises:
Write about you, Honey, Chloe and Dixon meeting a new girl or boy with magical powers in the park.
Omelette:
Write a factual story about you, Luke, Resus, Cleo, Bluey and Bingo as farmers who get help from neighbouring farmers Uncle Rad and Frisky to find out where our breakfast things come from. Click here for research and inspiration.
Born Yesterday:
Write a sort of sequel to Baby Race, where you as a baby spend time with your big siblings Luke, Resus and Cleo on days where you don't have to be taken to the mother-and-baby-group featured in the episode.
