ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Book Hungry Bears – Best Moments of Melody | Videos for Kids
Hi there! Today, we’re going to have some fun pretending to be different things. Let’s see what our friends are up to!
Melody is pretending to be a bird flying high in the sky. She loves pretending and says she can be anything she wants!
Scout asks Melody if she can pretend to be a bee. Melody says, “Buzz!” and does a great job!
Melody tries to be like her friend Boomer, but she finds out that their voices are too different. That’s okay because everyone is special in their own way!
Scout loves watching a little caterpillar. He could watch it all day long! But Melody thinks that’s too slow and quiet for her.
Scout tries to be like Crystal, who knows a lot about flowers. Crystal shows him daffodils and daisies. Scout learns their names, but he realizes he can’t be just like Crystal.
Melody decides to do things her own way by walking backwards. She thinks it’s a fun way to see the world!
Melody is on a mission to find books. She looks everywhere, even while walking backwards!
Scout warns Melody to watch out for a tree. Melody is careful and keeps looking for books over her shoulder.
Scout finds a red leaf that fell from a tree. It’s very pretty, and they wonder how it turned red.
They decide to put the leaf back on the tree. Boomer, who is big and tall, tries to help by jumping high.
Even though Boomer can’t reach the branch, they come up with a plan to bring the branch down to them. Together, they carefully put the leaf back.
Everyone is happy and thanks each other for their help. It’s fun to work together and try new things!
Remember, it’s okay to be different and do things your own way. Just like Melody, Scout, Boomer, and Crystal, you can have fun and learn new things every day!
Pretend Play Parade: Gather your friends or family and have a pretend play parade! Each person can choose an animal or object to pretend to be, just like Melody and her friends. You can be a bird, a bee, or even a caterpillar! Take turns showing off your pretend character and see if others can guess what you are. Discuss how it feels to pretend to be something else and what you learn from it.
Nature Observation Walk: Go on a short walk with an adult and look for interesting things in nature, like Scout watching the caterpillar or finding a pretty red leaf. Bring a notebook and draw or write about what you see. Can you find a leaf that has changed color? What other animals or plants can you pretend to be? Share your findings with your friends or family and talk about why nature is special.
Teamwork Challenge: Just like Boomer and his friends worked together to put the leaf back on the tree, try a teamwork challenge at home or in the classroom. Build a simple tower using blocks or cups. Work together to make it as tall as possible without it falling over. Discuss how working together helped you succeed and what you learned about teamwork.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary filler words and maintaining clarity:
—
[Music] [Applause]
Melody: I’m pretending to be a bird looking for books in the sky. I’m such a good pretender, Scout. I can be anything!
Scout: Oh, like a bee?
Melody: That’s easy! Buzz!
Scout: That’s pretty good! But can you be like me, Melody?
Melody: I give up! I can’t be loud like you, Boomer. Our voices are too different. Goodbye.
[Music]
Scout: You keep bouncing, Boomer. I’m going to be Scout. That’ll be easy.
Boomer: Bounce, bounce, bounce!
Melody: Hi, I’m going to be you. Okay, I’m watching the caterpillar.
Scout: Hi, caterpillar! This caterpillar is so sweet. Hmm, I could watch him all day.
Melody: Wait, what did you say? All day?
Scout: Oh yeah, there’s so much to look at. See? He moved a little.
Melody: Oh, all day? No way! That’s too much slow and quiet for me. I’m so different from you, Scout.
Scout: Okay, I’m going to try to be Crystal. She’s not quiet.
Crystal: Oh, what is it?
Scout: A book?
Crystal: Not a book! Oh, daffodils! My favorite flowers!
Scout: Crystal, I know the names of flowers. I’m just like you!
Crystal: You, me, and dandelions. That’s their real name.
Scout: Oh, right! I knew that. Look, star flowers!
Crystal: Those are daisies!
Scout: Oh, I didn’t know that. I guess I can’t be like you after all, Crystal.
Melody: I can’t be like you or Scout or Boomer. You’re all too different from me. I walk backwards; it’s a whole new way of seeing everything—the Melody way.
Scout: Oh, see any books?
Melody: No books yet, Scout, but I’ll keep looking.
Scout: I don’t think you’ll find a book that way, Melody. I’ve never seen a book behind me.
Boomer: Oh yeah, there are all kinds of things behind you, like the trees. They look like they’re getting smaller and smaller.
[Music]
Melody: Hello there, froggy! I just walked past you, but I can still see you. Walking backwards looks fun, Melody, but you can’t go very fast.
Melody: Sure I can!
[Music]
Boomer: Not as fast as me! See ya!
Melody: You’re right, Boomer, but I don’t mind. Slow and backwards—that’s the Melody way, and it’s fun. Slow can be fun.
[Music]
Melody: Books, books! Looking for books to share. Could they be here? Could they be there? Looking for books to share.
[Music]
Scout: Watch out for the tree, Melody!
Melody: Don’t worry, Scout, I saw it. I just keep checking over my shoulder like this—looking for books!
[Laughter]
Melody: Oh, look at that pretty bird!
Scout: Where? You can’t see it because it’s in front of us. Too bad you’re walking backwards.
Melody: There it is! Look out for that!
Scout: Oops! You see, Melody? Maybe walking backwards isn’t the best way to look for a book.
Melody: Oh no, what’s wrong, Melody?
Scout: My dance made this leaf fall.
Melody: That’s too bad. Yeah, it’s a very pretty leaf. It’s red. Leaves turn all sorts of colors when it’s time for them to fall, but all the other leaves are green.
Scout: Hmm, so my dance must have turned this one red, and I made it fall.
Crystal: I know I did!
Scout: Maybe you did make the leaf fall. Then it’s up to me to put it back.
Melody: How are you going to do that?
Scout: We need someone big.
Boomer: I’m big!
Scout: And we need someone tall.
Boomer: I’m big and tall!
Scout: And we need someone who can jump high.
Boomer: I’m big and tall, and I can jump high!
Melody: Okay, Boomer, do you think you can jump high enough to stick my big red leaf back on that branch?
Boomer: Can this bear boom? You can do it, Boomer!
Boomer: Okay, here we go!
[Music]
Boomer: Oops!
Melody: That’s okay, Boomer. It was a good try, but now I have a big red broken leaf.
Scout: Oh no! What am I going to do?
Melody: If we can’t get to the branch, we’ll bring the branch to us.
Scout: Yeah, good idea!
Melody: Okay, now you can put your leaf back there.
Melody: All right, I’m going to let the branch go now. Be very, very careful with my big red leaf.
[Applause]
Melody: Thank you for your help, everyone!
[Music]
