八 = 丿 + ㇏ : Mnemonic symbol: an eight-ball.

Beelzebub (b-) wants to find new ways to lure people into playing pool billiard. To this end he is meditating on top of an eight-ball (八) in front of the Ashram (a1). He uses a finger (㇏) and a banana (丿) as incense to create the right atmosphere.

国 = 囗 + 玉 : Mnemonic symbol: a nation's flag. Let's say the Chinese flag.

In the observatory's kitchen (o2) Gitta Giraffe (gu) is practising her ballet performance. She got a whole crate (囗) full of jade bracelets (玉) and flags (国) and fixed one flag to each jade bracelet. This makes a perfect combination for throwing the ring with the flag waving behind it and catching the ring again after a few pirouettes.

集 = 木 + 隹 : The eight most important sparrows (隹) in the world hold a very exclusive gatherig just inside the space station's entrance (Ø2). Joan of Arc (ji) also wants to join, so she pretends to be a sparrow and sits atop the Christmas tree (木) like the other sparrows.

团 = 囗 + 才 : Tommy Turtle (tu) inspects the super secret box (囗) in the anthill's kitchen (an2). He's not supposed to open it, but with his super X-ray vision ability (才), he can see that it is filled with balls (团) and dumplings (团).
