I think the intended message g DW was that "It's okay to admit that you don't know how or that you're not got at something" (DW could have avoided much heartache if she just said she didn't know how to skate) and, for Muffy, "That charity should be genuine" (she did try to be charitable but mostly because she was called spoiled).

[[caption-width-right:350:[[Anime/YuriOnIce "We call everything on the ice 'love'."]]]]
Emily's ice skating party is coming up! However, James worries he's going to be the worst skater at the party, so D.W. offers to give him private ice skating lessons, despite having ice skated only three times in her life.
!!"D.W. on Ice" contains examples of:
* AnAesop: Even if you're not good at something, that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. For all you know, your peers might not be any better at it.
* BlatantLies: Every time D.W. falls while trying to train James, she comes up with more and more ridiculous excuses, culminating in her claiming she fell because James ''breathed'' on her!
* CallBack: D.W. tries to get out of going to Emily's ice skating party by claiming to have chicken pox, to which her mother points out that it's not possible since [[Recap/ArthurS1E18ArthursChickenPoxSickAsADog she's already had it]].
* DreamSequence: The night before she is to teach James ice skating, D.W. has one where she saves James from the Tibbles (who were going to use him as a hockey puck) by using her skates to propel snow at them and then lassoing them, performing a figure skating routine under a spotlight afterwards.
* EasilyForgiven: Even though D.W. admits she was jealous of him, James ultimately has no hard feelings towards D.W. for calling him a terrible student, and the episode ends with them going ice skating together with their classmates again.
* FailureMontage: D.W. falls several times while trying to teach James ice skating.
* FailuresOnIce: Having only ice skated three times in her life, D.W. is not a very good ice-skating instructor. In fact, James seems to be a better ice skater than she is.
* GratuitousFrench: The ColdOpen has the patriarch of a [[UsefulNotes/{{France}} French]] family ask Arthur to take their photo in his native language.
* GreenEyedMonster: When D.W. sees that James is better at ice skating than she is, D.W. quits as his instructor out of jealousy and even calls him a terrible student to his face.
* HandsOnApproach: D.W. and James' ice skating lesson features quite a bit of literal hand-holding between the two.
* ImagineSpot: D.W. has one where she falls down on the ice rink and the Tibble twins pick her up with a crane attached to a Zamboni, carrying her onto a frozen bird bath outside the Read house. It turns out she can't even keep her balance on the bird bath!
* InstantExpert: [[DefiedTrope Defied]] by Arthur in the ColdOpen when he points out that instantly mastering something is not likely to actually happen, "unless of course you're D.W." This is reflected in the episode itself, where D.W. ''thinks'' she's a great ice skater despite only having done it three times, but ends up falling several times while trying to teach James.
* NeverMyFault: When D.W. crashes into Arthur while sliding around on her house floor, she chides Arthur for not looking both ways before stepping into the "rink", even though, as he points out, their house isn't a rink.
* NoOshaCompliance: The ice rink does not appear to have any rule against ice skating without a helmet on. The kids are lucky they didn't get seriously injured or killed, especially D.W. given how many times she fell over.
* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: D.W. and James have a falling out when D.W. gets jealous of him for being a better ice skater than her and calls him a terrible student. Of course, they make up in the end.
* SockSlideRink: The day before she is to teach James how to ice skate, D.W. practices by sliding across her house floor without her shoes on, and ends up crashing into Arthur as he comes home.
* SpectacularSpinning: In D.W.'s DreamSequence, she is able to spin fast enough on her ice skates to propel ice at the Tibbles.

After Francine calls Muffy "the most selfish spoiled brat", Muffy sets out to prove to her friends that she is not spoiled.
