ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 2 ‘Explore the Grand Canyon!’ ????| Sing Along Music Video | Pre-K and Kindergarten
Imagine a giant hole in the ground that is so big and amazing, you just have to see it! This special place is called the Grand Canyon. It’s one of the biggest canyons in the world and has been around for millions of years. Isn’t that cool?
The Grand Canyon is very long and deep. It’s between 4 to 18 miles wide! There are lots of fun things to do there. You can climb rocks, hike on paths, and even ride a mule if you want to. It’s like a big adventure playground!
Guess what? There’s a river that rushes through the canyon. You can go on a river rafting ride and splash through the rapids. It’s like a watery roller coaster! Imagine slipping and sliding on the water. How fun does that sound?
In the walls of the canyon, there are caves where Native Americans used to live. It’s like stepping back in time! Plus, there are lots of animals to see. You might spot a deer, a squirrel, or even a bird flying high above. It’s a great place for nature lovers!
The Grand Canyon is a wonderful place to visit because there’s so much to see and do. Whether you’re climbing, hiking, or just looking around, it’s a place full of adventure and beauty. So, if you ever get the chance to visit, make sure you take a look around. You’ll love it!
Build Your Own Canyon: Gather some sand, soil, or clay and create your own mini canyon in a tray or a box. Use your fingers or small tools to carve out the canyon. Imagine how water might have helped shape the Grand Canyon over millions of years. Once you’ve made your canyon, pour a little water through it and watch how the water flows. What happens to the sand or soil? How does the water change the shape of your canyon?
Animal Spotting Adventure: Make a list of animals mentioned in the article, like deer, squirrels, and birds. Go on a nature walk in your local park or backyard and see how many of these animals you can spot. Bring a notebook to draw or write about the animals you see. Think about how these animals might live in the Grand Canyon. What do they eat? Where do they sleep?
Time Traveler’s Journal: Pretend you are a Native American living in the caves of the Grand Canyon long ago. Write a short story or draw a picture about your day. What do you see when you look out from your cave? What sounds do you hear? What activities do you do for fun or to help your family? Share your story or drawing with your class and see how everyone’s ideas are different!

A giant hole deep in the ground, I want to go and look around. From everything they’re telling me, it’s something wonderful to see. It’s called the Grand Canyon because no bigger canyon ever was. It’s very, very old—millions of years, I’m told. The canyon’s long and deep; inside it’s 4 to 18 miles wide. There are rocks to climb and paths to hike, even mule rides if I like.
A giant hole deep in the ground, I want to go and look around. From everything they’re telling me, it’s something wonderful to see. They say a river’s rushing through, and something fun that I could do is take a river rafting ride down the rapids, slip and slide. They saw caves carved in the walls where Native Americans lived, and that’s not all—wildlife is everywhere. Wow, I’m going to like it there!
