Hey there, ocean explorers! Are you ready to dive under the waves and discover the amazing world beneath the sea? Let’s go on an adventure together!
Today, we’re going to explore the beautiful colors of the ocean and meet some animals in their special homes. Are you excited to join us?
When you’re curious and want to learn, taking a closer look helps your mind grow. Let’s see what we can find under the sea!
Wow, look at all those colors and shapes! Do you know what that is? It’s a coral reef! A coral reef looks like colorful rocks, but it’s actually made of tiny living animals called coral.
The purple coral looks like tubes, the yellow coral looks like trees, and the pink coral is pointy like a porcupine. Isn’t it amazing?
Coral reefs are homes for many ocean animals. Let’s see who lives there!
Look closely, and you might spot a sea urchin or even a seahorse! Seahorses hold onto the coral to stay safe from strong waters. They eat tiny shrimp all day long!
Did you know that daddy seahorses have babies, not mommy seahorses? Isn’t that interesting? And guess what? Seahorses are actually a type of fish, just like other fish with gills to breathe underwater!
Let’s move like a seahorse! Go up, go down, sway side to side, and dance to the music just like seahorses do!
We had so much fun exploring the colorful coral, meeting ocean animals, and learning about seahorses. And now, it’s time for a dance party!
Thanks for joining us on this ocean adventure. Keep exploring and having fun with your friends. See you next time!
Colorful Coral Creations: Gather some colored paper, scissors, and glue. Create your own coral reef by cutting out different shapes and colors to represent the various types of coral you learned about. Arrange them on a piece of paper to make a beautiful underwater scene. As you work, think about how each coral shape provides a home for different ocean animals. Share your creation with a friend and explain which animals might live in your coral reef.
Seahorse Moves: Pretend to be a seahorse! Find a space where you can move around safely. Practice swaying side to side, moving up and down, just like a seahorse in the ocean. Imagine you’re holding onto coral to stay safe. Can you think of other animals that might move in fun ways? Try moving like them too!
Ocean Animal Observation: Next time you visit an aquarium or watch a video about the ocean, look closely at the animals you see. Can you spot any that live in coral reefs? Draw a picture of your favorite ocean animal and share one fun fact about it with your family or friends. How do you think this animal uses the coral reef as its home?

[Applause] Ocean explorers, here we go under the waves! Adventure home! When we’re playing and learning with friends together, the fun never ends.
Hello, ocean explorers! Today we’re going to explore the incredible colors of the ocean and see some animals in their homes. Do you want to come along?
Alright, explorer friends, come along with us and we’ll learn something new!
[Music]
I can’t wait to see what a home in the ocean looks like! Me too! I don’t just want to see the underwater houses; I want to see the underwater schools and the underwater swimming pools!
I love that you’re excited! I don’t know if we’ll see all of those things, but if we take a closer look, I bet we’ll learn a lot.
I can’t wait! Me too! What about you? 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.
[Music]
Wow, those colors and shapes are so different and beautiful! But what am I looking at?
That’s a coral reef! A coral reef is a group of colorful rocks. It looks like a group of colorful rocks, but actually, the reef is made up of small living animals called coral.
Whoa, that’s cool! That purple coral looks like a bunch of purple tubes, and the yellow coral looks like a forest of yellow trees. That pink coral is pointy like a pointy pink porcupine!
All of that coral is so beautiful, but I thought we were seeing homes where ocean animals live.
The coral is where lots of ocean animals live!
Follow me! I’ll show you! Opus is going to show us where animals live in the coral. Let’s go!
Pay close attention; I bet we can see some of the animals that live in the coral reef. Do you want to try?
Okay, let’s go! That was a sea urchin! Did you see it?
Look! I’m pretty sure we found a seahorse’s home! Way to go!
What are they doing with that coral?
They’re hanging on to it to protect themselves from being washed away by the strong waters.
I wonder what seahorses eat.
They eat tiny shrimp all day long!
Oh, that’s a lot of shrimp!
What do you want to know?
What I think is the most interesting thing about seahorses is that daddy seahorses are the ones who have babies, not mommy seahorses!
If you’re a tiny horse, anything is possible!
Well, they’re not actually horses!
Okay, they’re not actually horses!
See that fish over there? Look at those flaps on its neck; those are called gills. That’s how a fish breathes underwater. Now look at these seahorses; they have gills too!
That’s right, because seahorses are actually a type of fish!
Oh, I love seahorses! I mean, sea horse fish! You know what I mean!
Move like a seahorse! Go up, go down! Move like a seahorse! Way side to side! Just feel the music; let it be your guide!
[Music]
Move like a seahorse! Way to and fro! Dancing like the seahorses down below!
What a great day! We saw all sorts of colorful coral, learned about some animals who live in coral, and even got to see seahorses!
And we learned that daddy seahorses have babies! Pretty amazing, isn’t it?
Uh, yeah!
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 in the water, up on the shore! So much to learn, so much to explore!
We’re so glad you could play with us!
What a day! What a day! It’s so much fun playing with friends by the ocean!
[Music]
See you next time! Until then, keep exploring!
