ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Let’s Explore: Shapes with Boxfish! | Ocean Explorers Season 2 | Educational
Get ready for an exciting adventure under the sea! We’re going to dive deep into the ocean and discover amazing things with our friend Neptune. Are you ready to explore with us? Let’s go!
Hey there, Tinker! What shape are your flippers? They look like triangles! And what about your diving helmet, Dean? It’s a circle! Now, let’s see if we can find a fish shaped like a square. Do you want to join us on this adventure? Come along, explorer friends!
Hi, Neptune! We’re on a mission to find a square fish. Can you help us? Look around and tell us what shapes you see. Tinker spotted a rock shaped like a circle. Great job! And there’s some coral shaped like a triangle. Oh, look! There’s something yellow swimming around, and it looks like a square. Let’s take a closer look!
This bright yellow fish is called a yellow box fish. Its body looks like a square, almost like a box. The box fish has hard scales that protect it, just like armor. Isn’t that cool? Box fish like to be alone and don’t swim in groups. Look, it’s blowing in the sand to find food like worms and tiny fish. Let’s pretend to be box fish and blow like we’re blowing out birthday candles!
Look! The box fish is hiding between two rocks. It’s made a pattern: rock, box fish, rock. Can you guess what comes next? That’s right, another box fish! Patterns are fun to find. Dean found something else, but it’s not a square; it’s a rectangle. Remember, a square has all sides the same size, but a rectangle has two short sides and two long sides.
There are so many shapes in the ocean! Circles, triangles, squares, and more. Look around, and you’ll find shapes of every kind. Shapes are everywhere, and finding them is fun!
Today, we learned about the box fish and its armor-like scales. We also found lots of shapes in the ocean. Now, let’s have a dance party to celebrate our adventure! It’s so much fun exploring with friends by the ocean. Thanks for joining us, and see you next time! Keep exploring!
Shape Hunt at Home: Go on a shape hunt around your house or classroom! Look for objects that are circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles. Can you find a book that looks like a rectangle or a clock that looks like a circle? Draw the shapes you find on a piece of paper and share them with your friends or family.
Create Your Own Ocean Scene: Use colored paper, scissors, and glue to create an ocean scene with different shapes. Cut out fish, rocks, and coral in the shapes of circles, squares, and triangles. Arrange them on a blue piece of paper to make your own underwater adventure. What shapes did you use the most?
Pattern Play: Make a pattern using toys or blocks. Start with a simple pattern like circle, square, circle, square. Can you add more shapes to make it more complex? Try to create a pattern with three or four different shapes. Share your pattern with a friend and see if they can guess what comes next!

[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!
Hello there, ocean explorers! We’re about to go deep-sea diving with our friend Neptune to look for a new fish. Oh hey, Tinker! What shape are your flippers? They look like triangles! That’s right, Dean! What shape is your diving helmet? A circle! Now that we’ve seen a circle and a triangle, why don’t we look for a square fish? A what? Want to explore with us? Alright, explorer friends, come along with us and we’ll learn something new!
Hi, Neptune! Hi, friends! Cal says we’re looking for a square fish. Can you believe it? That sounds amazing! But um, I don’t see any square fish around here. What shapes do you see? I see a rock that is shaped like a circle. Good job, Tinker! That rock is shaped like a circle. Ooh, and I see some coral that is shaped like a triangle. Oh look over there! I see something yellow swimming around, and it looks like a square! Should we take a closer look? Yes!
When you’re feeling curious and you want to know, take a closer look and your mind will grow! This bright yellow fish Neptune found is called a yellow box fish. Their bodies look like a square, almost like a box, and their body is made up of scales that are really hard, so they act like armor. Wow! The armor on the box fish’s body protects them from getting hurt. Why is the box fish swimming by itself? Where are its friends? Well, box fish don’t like to hang out in groups; they like to spend time all by themselves.
Look! The box fish is blowing in the sand! That’s funny! Box fish blow in the sand to find their favorite food, like worms and tiny fish. That’s not how I find my food; I just go to the kitchen! Hey, look at me! I’m a box fish looking for my food! Would you like to pretend to be a box fish with us? Great! Use your mouth and blow really hard, just like you’re blowing out your birthday candles!
Hey, look! The box fish is hiding between those two rocks over there! That’s right, Dean! Oh, and look! The box fish has made a pattern. A pattern is something that repeats. See this pattern? It’s a rock, then a box fish, then another rock. Do you know what comes next in this pattern? That’s right, a box fish! Let me try: rock, box fish, rock, treasure chest! Hey, that doesn’t fit the pattern, but I did find another square! Nice try, Dean, but that’s not a square; it’s a rectangle. All the sides of a square are the same size, but a rectangle has two short sides and two long sides.
Wow, there sure are a lot of different shapes in the ocean! Look around, and you will find shapes of every size and kind: circles here, triangles there, that’s a square! Shapes are everywhere! Finding shapes is not that rare: circle, triangle, and a square! You can find them anywhere! Look, there’s a shape over there: circles here, triangles there, that’s a square! Shapes are everywhere!
Today we learned all about the box fish. Their hard scales are like a knight’s armor, and we found shapes in the ocean. Well, I guess there’s only one thing left to do: dance party! 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, Cal, 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!
