ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Let’s Explore: Counting with a Sea Lion! | Ocean Explorers Season 2 | Education Show
Hey there, little ocean adventurers! Are you ready to dive under the waves and explore with us? Today, we’re going to have so much fun learning about the ocean and its amazing creatures!
Our friend Tinker is taking us to her favorite beach. It even has something called a pier! Do you know what a pier is? It’s a special walkway that goes out over the ocean water. Isn’t that cool?
Do you hear that barking sound? It sounds like dogs, but it’s actually sea lions! Sea lions are not like the lions you see in a zoo. They live by the ocean and are a lot like seals. Let’s take a closer look!
Sea lions make a lot of noise because that’s how they talk to each other. Mommy sea lions call their babies when it’s time to eat, and daddy sea lions bark to keep other animals away. Let’s try barking like sea lions together! Ready?
Sea lions bark, now we bark! They make a sound, we make a sound. Let’s do it again! Sea lions bark, now we bark! Great job!
Sea lions love to hang out with their friends on the beach and the pier. Can you help us count them?
How many sea lions are on the beach? Let’s count together: 1, 2, 3, 4! There are four sea lions on the beach!
Now, let’s count the sea lions on the pier: 1, 2, 3! There are three sea lions on the pier! You’re great at counting!
Did you know sea lions use their whiskers to say hello? They can even feel shapes with their whiskers, just like you use your fingers to touch things. Isn’t that amazing?
We’ve learned so much about sea lions today! They bark loudly, swim in the ocean, and use their whiskers to feel. Now, let’s use our feet to dance! Dance party time!
Thank you for exploring with us today! We had so much fun learning and playing by the ocean. Keep exploring and we’ll see you next time!
Whisker Exploration: Just like sea lions use their whiskers to feel, let’s explore how we use our sense of touch! Gather a few objects with different textures, like a soft teddy bear, a smooth rock, and a bumpy ball. Close your eyes and use your fingers to feel each object. Can you guess what they are just by touching them? Talk about how sea lions might use their whiskers to feel things in the ocean.
Sea Lion Counting Adventure: Create your own sea lion counting game! Draw or print pictures of sea lions and place them around the room or outside. Pretend you’re at the beach or on a pier and count how many sea lions you can find. Can you find more sea lions than we counted in the video? Share your findings with a friend or family member!
Sound and Communication: Sea lions bark to communicate. Let’s explore how we communicate with sounds! Make a list of different animal sounds you know, like a cat’s meow or a bird’s chirp. Try making these sounds and see if your friends can guess which animal it is. Discuss how animals use sounds to talk to each other, just like sea lions do.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary repetitions and maintaining clarity:

Ocean explorers, here we go under the waves! Adventure ho! In the water, under the sun, down in the reefs, in the ocean, when we’re playing, we learn with friends together—the fun never ends!
Greetings, ocean explorers! Today, Tinker is taking us to one of her favorite places. I can’t wait to show everyone my favorite beach; it even has a pier!
What’s a pier? A pier is a walkway that sticks out from the land over the ocean water.
Oh, so that’s a pier! Cool! Want to explore with us?
Alright, explorer friends, come along with us and we’ll learn something new!
Do you hear that? It sounds like dogs barking.
Oh, I can tell you what they’re saying… uh, well, I have no idea!
That’s because those aren’t dogs barking, Dean. Those barks are coming from sea lions.
Sea lions? What’s a sea lion?
Let me guess—a sea lion is a lion that lives by the ocean?
Good guess, Earl! But sea lions aren’t like the lions you’d see in a zoo. Sea lions live along the water and are similar to seals. Should we take a closer look?
Yeah! When you’re feeling curious and you want to know, take a closer look and your mind will grow.
Those are sea lions! Wow, there are so many! Sea lions like to hang out in big groups with their friends.
What did you say, Cal? I’m having trouble hearing because of all the sea lions barking.
I said sea lions like to hang out with their friends, and they are very noisy!
But why are sea lions so noisy?
It’s how they talk! The mommy sea lions call out to the baby sea lions when it’s time to eat, and the daddy sea lions bark loudly to keep other animals away.
Hey, who wants to bark like a sea lion?
Yeah, let’s do it! Do you want to bark like a sea lion with us? Awesome! Follow along and match the patterns of their barking.
Sea lions bark, now we bark! They make a sound, we make a sound.
Let’s do one more round!
Sea lions bark, now we bark! They make a sound, we make a sound.
All together now, one more time!
That was fun! What else do sea lions like to do besides bark?
It looks like they like to hang out on the beach all day and on the pier.
Can you count how many sea lions are down on the beach?
I can count them! 1, 2, 3, 4—there are four sea lions on the beach!
That’s right! And how many sea lions are up on the pier?
Can I try? 1, 2, 3—there are three sea lions on the pier!
Great counting, everyone! Sea lions also like to go swimming in the ocean. When sea lions are swimming, they’re looking for food or trying to cool off on a warm day.
Look at that mama sea lion brushing its whiskers against the baby!
Why would she do that?
Sea lions use their whiskers to say hello to each other. Looks like that mama knows which one is her baby!
She sure does! Sea lions can also feel shapes with their whiskers.
Sounds like sea lions use their whiskers like I use my paws!
That’s right, Dean! Today we learned about sea lions. They have a loud bark, they like to swim, we counted sea lions on the beach and the pier, and learned they use their whiskers like you’d use your fingers.
I think it’s time we use our feet to…
Dance! Dance party!
What a day! It’s so much fun playing with friends by the ocean—down below the water, up on the shore. So much to learn, so much to explore!
We’re so glad you could play with us!
See you next time! Until then, keep exploring!
