Syllables! | Scratch Garden

  • 0:07 - 0:08
    Hi!
  • 0:08 - 0:09
    OK everybody...
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    The English language
    has many words.
  • 0:11 - 0:12
    Like this.
  • 0:12 - 0:15
    Ho! So many words!
  • 0:15 - 0:18
    And every word
    can be split into parts.
  • 0:18 - 0:20
    We call these parts
    syllables.
  • 0:20 - 0:22
    Syllables!
  • 0:22 - 0:33
    A word could have one, or two,
    or three, or four, or even more syllables.
  • 0:33 - 0:33
    Syllables!
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    Could a word have
    1 million syllables?
  • 0:36 - 0:39
    No, that is too many
    syllables.
  • 0:39 - 0:40
    What about four syllables?
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    Yes, I already said that.
  • 0:42 - 0:43
    Ha!
  • 0:43 - 0:44
    No more questions!
  • 0:44 - 0:45
    Anyway!
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    A syllable is like a beat.
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    Do you know what a beat is?
  • 0:49 - 0:51
    DRUMMER!
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    Please play a beat.
  • 0:54 - 0:55
    Thank you.
  • 0:55 - 0:56
    That is a good beat.
  • 0:56 - 0:59
    You can make a beat
    by clapping your hands.
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    Get those hands up!
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    Let's practice one beat.
  • 1:02 - 1:06
    OK ready?
    Here we go: Clap!
  • 1:07 - 1:08
    Ho ho!
  • 1:08 - 1:10
    Now let's try it
    with some words.
  • 1:10 - 1:12
    We will start
    with the easy ones.
  • 1:12 - 1:17
    Words with one syllable
    - and therefore - one beat.
  • 1:17 - 1:21
    The first word is dog. (Dog!)
  • 1:21 - 1:22
    Dog. (Dog!)
  • 1:22 - 1:23
    I SAID DOG!
  • 1:23 - 1:25
    Ha ha! Good girl.
  • 1:25 - 1:32
    Now everybody clap your hands to make
    one beat when I say the word "Dog".
  • 1:32 - 1:37
    OK ready?
    Here we go: Dog.
  • 1:38 - 1:39
    Dog.
  • 1:39 - 1:40
    Dog.
  • 1:41 - 1:42
    Dog.
  • 1:42 - 1:43
    Dog!
  • 1:43 - 1:45
    Dog!
  • 1:45 - 1:47
    Hey!
    Good job.
  • 1:47 - 1:52
    Next we will try a word
    with two syllables:
  • 1:52 - 1:53
    Apple. (Apple!)
  • 1:54 - 1:55
    Apple. (Apple!)
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    I SAID APPLE!
  • 1:57 - 1:59
    Ho! Thank you!
  • 1:59 - 2:03
    The word Apple has two syllables -
    and therefore - two beats.
  • 2:03 - 2:08
    It is kind of like it is split
    into two parts, like this.
  • 2:12 - 2:17
    The first part is 'Ap'
    and the second part is 'ple'.
  • 2:17 - 2:23
    Now everybody clap your hands and make
    a beat when I say each part of the word Apple.
  • 2:23 - 2:27
    OK ready?
    Here we go:
  • 2:27 - 2:33
    Ap-ple, Ap-ple, Ap-ple,
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    Ap-ple, Ap-ple. Apple!
  • 2:37 - 2:42
    Yay! Ho ho!
    You're doing great!
  • 2:42 - 2:44
    Next we will try a word
    with three syllables:
  • 2:44 - 2:47
    Ladybug. (Ladybug!)
  • 2:47 - 2:49
    Ladybug. (Ladybug!)
  • 2:49 - 2:50
    I SAID LADYBUG!
  • 2:50 - 2:52
    Wow,
    that is a big ladybug.
  • 2:52 - 2:57
    The word Ladybug has three syllables
    - and therefore - three beats.
  • 2:57 - 3:02
    It is kind of like it is split
    into three parts.
  • 3:06 - 3:14
    The first part is 'La', the second is 'dy'
    and the third part is 'bug'.
  • 3:14 - 3:20
    Now everybody clap your hands and make
    a beat when I say each part of the word Ladybug.
  • 3:20 - 3:24
    OK ready?
    Here we go:
  • 3:24 - 3:30
    La-dy-bug, La-dy-bug,
  • 3:30 - 3:37
    La-dy-bug, La-dy-bug,
    La-dy-bug. Ladybug!
  • 3:37 - 3:39
    Good job.
  • 3:41 - 3:45
    And finally,
    we will try a word with four syllables:
  • 3:45 - 3:47
    Salamander. (Salamander!)
  • 3:47 - 3:49
    Salamander. (Salamander!)
  • 3:49 - 3:50
    I SAID SALAMANDER!
  • 3:50 - 3:53
    Ho! Hi Salamander.
  • 3:53 - 3:57
    The word Salamander has four syllables
    - and therefore - four beats.
  • 3:57 - 4:02
    It is kind of like it is split
    into four parts.
  • 4:07 - 4:16
    The first part is 'Sal' the second part is 'a',
    the third part is 'man', and the last is 'der'.
  • 4:16 - 4:22
    Now everybody clap your hands and make a beat
    when I say each part of the word Salamander.
  • 4:22 - 4:26
    OK ready?
    Here we go:
  • 4:26 - 4:39
    Sal-a-man-der, Sal-a-man-der,
    Sal-a-man-der, Sal-a-man-der!
  • 4:39 - 4:42
    Sal-a-man-der, Salamander!
  • 4:42 - 4:48
