Sing-a-Ling-a-Land also happens to be an extension of Annie and Tim's gameboard. However, the main guest of honor (a singing rainbow) is missing, so as each character performs his or her respective performance, Chug-a-Long the engine and Cubby the caboose are sent to go look for her by asking a cirrus, cumulus, and stratus cloud where she disappeared to. Eventually, she is found after Annie and Tim find her on their gameboard playing with their cat, and as a reward, they are allowed to attend the Wee Sing Festival, and the singing rainbow is able to perform.
