ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Let’s Explore: Sorting With Swordfish! | Ocean Explorers Season 2 | Education Show
Are you ready to dive under the waves and have an adventure? Let’s go explore the ocean together! We’re going to meet our friend Opus, who will show us one of the biggest fish in the ocean. Are you excited? Let’s start our journey!
Before we dive in, let’s put away our toys. We can make it a fun game by sorting them into colors. Put all the red toys together, then the yellow ones, and finally the blue ones. Great job! Now we’re ready to meet Opus!
Hi, Opus! Opus is here to show us a really big fish called a swordfish. Do you know why it’s called a swordfish? Because it has a long, flat bill that looks like a sword! Isn’t that cool?
Swordfish use their bills to catch smaller fish to eat. They are some of the biggest and fastest fish in the ocean. They can even jump really high! Wouldn’t it be fun to play a game with them?
We have a fun game to play with the swordfish. It’s called Ring Toss! We’ll make patterns with rings and toss them onto the swordfish’s bill. Let’s try a pattern: red, yellow, red. Can you match it?
Now let’s try another pattern: blue, red, yellow. Oops, did you make a mistake? That’s okay! We can try again and get it right. Great job!
After all that fun, it’s time for a dance party! We had such a great day learning about swordfish and playing games. Thanks for joining us on this ocean adventure. Remember, there’s always more to explore and learn!
Until next time, keep exploring and having fun with your friends!
Color Sorting Adventure: At home, find different objects like crayons, blocks, or clothes. Sort them by color just like we did with the toys before meeting Opus. Can you find more colors than just red, yellow, and blue? Try sorting them into groups and see how many different colors you can find!
Swordfish Craft: Create your own swordfish using paper, crayons, and scissors. Draw a big fish and make sure to add a long, flat bill like a sword. Once you’ve made your swordfish, think about what it might eat. Draw some small fish around it. Where do you think your swordfish would like to swim?
Pattern Play: Use colored beads or buttons to make patterns like we did in the Ring Toss game. Start with simple patterns like red, yellow, red, and then try more complex ones like blue, red, yellow, blue. Can you make a pattern that repeats four colors? Share your patterns with a friend or family member and see if they can guess what comes next!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[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!
Ahoy, ocean explorers! Hello! Today we’re going to meet our friend Opus. He’s excited to show us one of the biggest fish in the ocean. How big? Really big! This big! Even bigger! Do you want to explore with us? Alright, explorer friends, how are you? Come along with us, and we’ll learn something new!
We’re almost there! Time to put away our toys. Aww, I love this game! Well, you can put away your toys and still play a game. How do we do that? First, sort the toys into colors: red with red, yellow with yellow, and blue with blue. That’s right, Tinker! Red, red, yellow, yellow, blue, blue. Good job! And just in time, here comes Opus!
Hi everyone! Hi Opus! You’re just in time! I saw some really big fish up ahead. Shall we take a closer look? When you’re feeling curious and you want to know, take a closer look and your mind will grow!
[Music] What am I seeing? Whatever it is, I love it! That fish is called a swordfish because he has a sword for a nose. Oh, I told you I loved it! Well, it does look like a sword, but it’s not his nose, Dean. Whatever it is, let me guess, you love it! That’s actually called a bill. Lots of fish have them; they’re hard, kind of like a bird’s beak. The bills are long and flat, and the swordfish’s bill is bigger than any other fish!
Amazing! Do they use their bills to swordfight? No, swordfish use their bills to catch smaller fish to eat. Wow, they’re so big! Swordfish are some of the biggest fish in the ocean. Wow, they can jump really high! Woah, they’re fast too! That’s right! Swordfish are one of the fastest fish of all. I could never catch a swordfish in a game of tag! Oh, I’d love to play with the swordfish. Do you think they’ll play a game with us? We can ask!
Uh, excuse me, would you please play a game with us? Oh, I know! Why don’t we play Ring Toss with the swordfish? Great idea, Dean! I’ll make some patterns with these rings: red, yellow, red. Now see if you can match the patterns by tossing the rings onto the swordfish’s bill.
Okay, first is red, next comes yellow, and then red. Nice job, everyone! Now try this pattern: blue, red, yellow. I got this one! Blue, red… Blue! Not quite, Dean. Oh, I see now! The last ring is yellow. Oh, nice job correcting your mistake, Dean!
Ring toss, ring toss! Which ring will we toss first? First one’s yellow, next is blue, toss a third one, a red one too! One more time! First one’s yellow, next is blue, toss a third one, a red one too! Ring toss, ring toss! What a fun day! We met a swordfish and learned that their bills are long and flat and shaped like swords. We sorted rings into colors and even played a ring toss game using different patterns.
There’s only one thing better than playing with a swordfish: 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, Cow, Dean, Neptune, and Opus. What a day! What a day! It’s so much fun playing with friends by the ocean. Thanks for joining us! Until next time, keep exploring!
