"First Things First!" is the fourteenth episode from the fifth season of Barney & Friends.

Plot

Barney puts together a fun-filled day with the children piece by piece—like a puzzle! The day's first piece is a game of hide and seek, the second piece is dress up, the third piece is making pictures, the fourth piece is reading "The Tortoise and the Hare," the fifth piece is dancing and singing, and the sixth piece is the making of the puzzle. During the course of the day, the children find real puzzle pieces to create their own special puzzle. At the end of the day, their puzzle is complete and along the way they learn the concept of ordinal numbers!
