ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Let’s Explore: Patterns with Narwhals! | Ocean Explorers Season 2 | Education Show
Today, we are going on a chilly adventure to a place called the Arctic. It’s one of the coldest places in the whole world! Are you ready to meet some amazing animals? Let’s go!
Look at all the snow around us! It’s so much fun to play in. I even made a snow figure. Do you see something poking out of the water over there? Hmm, they look like sticks. Should we take a closer look? Yes, let’s explore!
Guess what? Those aren’t sticks at all! They are narwhals, a special kind of whale that lives in the Arctic. Narwhals have long, pointy teeth called tusks. They use these tusks to find yummy fish to eat. Isn’t that cool?
Did you know narwhals don’t have teeth in their mouths like we do? They slurp up their food instead of chewing it. How funny!
Why do narwhals pop in and out of the water? Just like us, they need to come up for air. Let’s count them together as they come up!
1… 2… 3 narwhals!
Oh no, where did they go? Narwhals are super swimmers and love to dive. I wish we could swim with them, don’t you?
Look, there’s a little one! Baby narwhals are gray. As they grow up, they get spots, and when they are very old, they turn white. Isn’t that amazing?
Today, we discovered all about narwhals, counted them, and even found some baby narwhals. It was such a fun day!
Thank you for exploring with us. Until next time, keep being curious and have fun discovering new things!
Make Your Own Narwhal: Gather some craft supplies like paper, crayons, and glue. Draw a narwhal and its long tusk on a piece of paper. You can use a straw or a rolled-up piece of paper as the tusk. Decorate your narwhal with spots to show how they change as they grow. Share your narwhal with your friends and tell them what you learned about these amazing creatures!
Arctic Animal Observation: Next time you visit a zoo or watch a nature documentary, look for other animals that live in cold places like the Arctic. Can you find polar bears or seals? Talk about how these animals are similar to or different from narwhals. What special features do they have to help them live in such a chilly place?
Count and Dive Game: Pretend to be narwhals with your friends. Take turns “diving” and “coming up for air.” Count how many times you can dive before needing to come up. This game helps you understand why narwhals pop in and out of the water. How many dives can you do in a row?
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript, removing any unnecessary elements while maintaining the essence of the content:

Welcome, ocean explorers! Today, we are in the Arctic, one of the coldest places in the world. We’re excited to meet some new animals!
Look at all the snow here in the Arctic! I made a snow figure. Oh, look over there! I see some objects coming out of the water. I wonder if those are sticks. Should we take a closer look? Yes! When you’re curious, it’s great to take a closer look and learn.
Those pointy objects aren’t sticks; they’re narwhals, a type of whale that lives here in the Arctic. I’ve never seen a narwhal before! They have long teeth called tusks, which they use to help find fish to eat. Unlike us, narwhals don’t have teeth in their mouths. They eat by sucking in their food, so they don’t need to chew.
Why do narwhals pop in and out of the water? They come up for air, just like us. Let’s count the narwhals as they come up!
1… 2… 3 narwhals!
Oh no, where did they go? Narwhals are great swimmers and divers. I wish we could swim with them!
Look, there’s one! It’s a gray narwhal. Baby narwhals are gray, and as they get older, they can develop spots. When narwhals get even older, they start to turn white.
Today, we learned all about narwhals, counted them, and found baby narwhals.
What a fun day! We’re so glad you could play with us. Until next time, keep exploring!
