ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Let’s Explore: Hide & Seek with Polar Bears! | Ocean Explorers Season 2 | Education
Are you ready for an adventure under the waves? Let’s dive into the ocean and have some fun together! Today, we’re going to explore a snowy place called the Arctic. Hop on a sled, and let’s go!
Wow, look at all the snow! It’s so soft and fluffy. Oh, look! Dean is covered in snow and looks just like a polar bear. But what is a polar bear? It’s a big, fluffy bear that lives in the cold Arctic.
Polar bears love the cold and have thick fur to keep them warm. They are great swimmers and use their big paws to swim between floating ice pieces called ice flows. Can you spot a polar bear on the biggest ice flow?
Polar bears are white, which helps them hide in the snow. It’s like a game of hide and seek! Do you want to play with us? Let’s find the polar bears hiding in the snow. Look for their black noses and little eyes peeking out. Ready, set, go!
While we play, we can also learn about big and small. Can you find the polar bear on the smallest ice flow? It’s not as big as the others. Sometimes it’s tricky to see them because they blend in so well!
We had so much fun today learning about polar bears and playing hide and seek. Now, let’s dance and celebrate our adventure! It’s always fun to explore and learn new things with friends.
What a wonderful day we had! We learned about polar bears, played games, and danced together. We hope you had fun too. Until next time, keep exploring and having fun!
Polar Bear Camouflage Art: Let’s create our own polar bear art! Use white paper and cotton balls to make a polar bear. Glue the cotton balls onto the paper to make the bear’s fluffy fur. Then, use a black marker to draw the eyes and nose. Can you make your polar bear blend into a snowy background? Try using a white crayon to draw snowflakes around your bear. This will help you understand how polar bears use their color to hide in the snow.
Ice Flow Jumping Game: Pretend your living room is the Arctic Ocean! Use pillows or pieces of paper as ice flows. Spread them out on the floor and try to jump from one to the other like a polar bear. Can you make it across without falling into the “water”? This game will help you understand how polar bears move from one ice flow to another.
Big and Small Hunt: Go on a hunt around your house or classroom to find objects that are big and small, just like the ice flows we learned about. Can you find something as big as a polar bear and something as small as a polar bear’s nose? Share your findings with a friend or family member and explain why you think each object is big or small.

[Applause] Ocean explorers, here we go under the waves! Adventure ho! 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 and learning with friends together, the fun never ends! Ocean explorers, ocean explorers, ocean explorers, let’s go!
Greetings, ocean explorers! Today we’re in the snowy Arctic, taking a ride on a sled. Want to explore with us? Oh, alright, explorer friends! How are you? Come along with us, and we’ll learn something new. This is so much fun!
Wow! The soft snow made for a soft landing. Dean, you’re covered in snow! You look just like a polar bear!
Polar bear? What’s that? It’s a bear that lives here in the Arctic. Look, that’s a polar bear out on the water!
Do you want to take a closer look? When you’re feeling curious and you want to know, take a closer look, and your mind will grow!
But I thought bears lived in the forest, and I don’t see any trees around here. That’s because it’s too cold in the Arctic for trees to grow, but polar bears love the cold.
Wow, polar bears are so cool! Do you think the polar bears are cold too? Don’t worry, Zen! Polar bears don’t mind the cold; in fact, they love it! They’re covered with fur that keeps them warm.
But polar bear fur is really thick.
Not quite, Dean, but their fur is so thick it keeps them warm when it’s really cold outside. Polar bears are great swimmers! Look, polar bears have big front paws that help them swim between ice flows.
What are ice flows? Ice flows are big floating pieces of ice that the polar bears hang out on. Look, some polar bears are on the ice flows, and some are swimming in the water. Can you spot which polar bear is on the biggest ice flow?
Ooh, I think it’s that one!
That’s right, Dean! Now can you spot which polar bear is on the smallest ice flow?
Oh, let me try… um, I’m not sure.
Well, that’s okay, Tinker! We’re all still learning, finding our way, trying, and smiling, getting better each day. The smallest ice flow is the one that’s not as big as the other two. Sometimes it’s hard to see a white polar bear on top of a white ice flow.
Polar bears are white because it helps them hide while they’re looking for food. Polar bears are really good at hiding!
Ooh, kind of like hide and seek! I want to play!
Me too! Do you want to play hide and seek with us and the polar bears? Awesome! Here we go! Can you find polar bears hiding in the snow like a game of hide and seek? Ready, set, let’s go!
It’s hard to see; you can tell they blend in and hide so well. Try to find his black nose peeking out from the snow. Oh look, now I spy his two little eyes! Oh look, look over there! Now you found the polar bear!
Can you find polar bears hiding in the snow like a game of hide and seek? Ready, set, let’s go!
That was fun! Today we learned about polar bears and how they love the cold. They’re also really good swimmers, and we got to play hide and seek with them. We also learned the difference between biggest and smallest.
I guess there’s only one thing to do—dance!
[Music]
What a day! 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—Tinker, Cow, Dean, Neptune, and Opus! What a day! What a day! It’s so much fun playing with friends by the ocean.
See you next time! Until then, keep exploring!
