Ocean Adventures: Fun Stories and Learning

Welcome to the ocean, where we can learn about amazing sea creatures! Let’s explore the alphabet with our ocean friends.

Ocean Alphabet

Let’s learn the alphabet with ocean animals:

  • O is for ocean.
  • A is for anemones.
  • B is for barracuda.
  • C is for clownfish.
  • D is for dolphin.
  • E is for eel.
  • F is for flounder.
  • G is for giant squid.
  • H is for hermit crab.
  • I is for ice fish.
  • J is for jellyfish.
  • K is for kelp.
  • L is for lobster.
  • M is for manatee.
  • N is for narwhal.
  • O is for octopus.
  • P is for pufferfish.
  • Q is for queen angelfish.
  • R is for reef.
  • S is for starfish.
  • T is for tide pool.
  • U is for urchin.
  • V is for viperfish.
  • W is for whale.
  • X is for xiphias (swordfish).
  • Y is for yellowfin tuna.
  • Z is for zebra shark.

Counting Under the Sea

Let’s count some ocean friends:

  • One big whale with a smile on his face.
  • Two seahorses floating in place.
  • Three happy turtles swimming on their way.
  • Four little crabs love to dance and play.
  • Five starfish yellow like the sun.

Counting in the sea is always lots of fun! One, two, three, four, five!

Seashell Day

It’s a seashell day! Let’s go to the beach and find some seashells.

When the sun comes up, we head to the beach. We see birds flying and feel the cool sand on our toes. We look for seashells, but sometimes we find rocks instead!

We dig in the sand and find bumpy and shiny shells. Some are tiny like a pearl, and some are big with curly shapes. Mommy says some shells are homes for sea animals, so we put them back in the sea.

When you hold a shell to your ear, you can hear the ocean! Let’s count our shells: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. We can make a pretend seashell store with all our treasures!

Learning About Seashells

Did you know that seashells are homes for animals called mollusks? These animals have soft bodies and use shells as their armor. Seashells can be tiny or as big as four feet across!

Hermit crabs love to live in empty seashells. As they grow, they need bigger shells. Clams have a special tube called a siphon to help them breathe when they are buried in the sand.

Seashells have been used for art, jewelry, and even money! They are special treasures from the sea.

Explore More Stories

If you love stories, there are many more to explore! Ask a grown-up to help you find more fun stories about the ocean and other adventures. You’ll be glad you did!

Thanks for learning with us! Keep exploring and having fun!

  1. What is your favorite ocean animal from the alphabet list, and why do you like it? Have you ever seen it in real life or in a picture?
  2. When you go to the beach, what kinds of things do you like to find or do? Have you ever found a special seashell or something else interesting?
  3. If you could be any sea creature for a day, which one would you choose and what adventures would you have in the ocean?
  1. Ocean Alphabet Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that start with the same letters as the ocean animals in our alphabet list. For example, find something that starts with “A” for anemones or “B” for barracuda. Share your findings with your friends and see how many letters you can match!

  2. Create Your Own Ocean Story: Use your imagination to create a short story about an ocean adventure. Include at least three ocean animals from the alphabet list in your story. Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with your classmates or family. What exciting things will your ocean friends do?

  3. Seashell Sorting and Counting: If you have seashells at home or in the classroom, sort them by size, color, or shape. Count how many you have in each group. Can you find a shell that looks like it could be a home for a hermit crab? Imagine what kind of sea creature might live in each shell and share your ideas with a friend.

It’s a seashell day when the sun peeks up over the bay.
Mommy tells me it’s a seashell day.
I rush down the path over the dune.
Salty breeze blows, we’ll be there soon.
We reach the beach, herring gulls flock.
Is this a seashell? No, it’s a rock.
With pale and shovel in my hand,
My toes squish in cool wet sand.
A wave rolls in, it’s way too big.
Go away wave, so I can dig.
Bumpy lumpy shells out from the muck.
Spiny shiny shells, a penny for luck.
My shell is tiny, a silvery pearl.
Mommy’s is brown with a big twirly curl.
This shell is a home, mommy tells me.
Let’s put it back to live in the sea.
This shell has a secret, hold it up to your ear.
Listen, says mommy, what do you hear?

[Applause]
I hear the ocean!

I count shells: one, two, three, four.
Each one is different, I have many more.
I count other shells: five, six, seven, eight.
My shells are curvy, never straight.
Two more shells, numbers nine and ten.
When we get home, let’s count them again.
We’re almost home, it’s been a fun day.
So many shells, I’ll make a display.
One, two, three, four, a pretend seashell store.
Five, six, seven, eight, oh my shells look really great.
Nine and ten, both from the sea.
I brought the beach home with me.

Mollusks are animals with soft bodies that wear their skeletons on the outside: seashells.
Every empty seashell on the beach was once a part of an animal from the mollusk family.
Seashells are mostly made of calcium, so are our bones.
The best time to find seashells on the beach is in the morning or evening at low tide.
Scallops have dozens of eyes to help them see predators coming from any direction.
Seashells can be as small as a grain of rice or as big as four feet across.
There are more than 100,000 species of mollusks worldwide.
About half of all mollusks live in the ocean.
A seashell wraps around a mollusk’s body like a suit of armor.
It protects the sea creature living inside from predators and strong ocean currents.
Under the sea, hermit crabs crawl into empty seashells and call them home.
As hermit crabs grow bigger, they have to find larger and larger shells.
Many clams breathe through a kind of snorkel, a body part called a siphon, when they bury themselves in sand.
Shells have been used throughout history for art, jewelry, money, tools, containers, and buttons.

If you don’t have books, what are you waiting for?
It’s a kid-safe, ad-free library full of storybooks brought to life.
My favorite story on books is “The Unicorn and Horse” because the horse feels like he’s not beautiful, but he actually is.
I’m going to explore more on books, and you should too.
Don’t wait around, ask your grown-up and start exploring more fun stories like these.
You’ll be glad you did.
