CH 01 · LEARNING LAND · EPISODE L02
Murphy is playing with his big red ball when one giant BOING sends it bouncing away. A busy, buzzy bee bumps it through the flower garden, a friendly bear catches it and tosses it way up high, and it lands in the basket of a hot air balloon. When it rolls out and splashes into the lake, a little sailboat toots its horn and brings Murphy's ball right back to him.
Every one of them starts with the letter B. Can your Couch Buddy name them all?
B! B! B is bouncy! B! B! Here we go! Murphy had a ball, it was big and red Bounce, bounce, bounce, right over his head! One big BOING and away it flew So hop up on the couch, we'll find it with you! B, B, ball! (Ball!) B, B, bee! (Bee!) B, B, bear, a big brown bear! B, B, balloon, way up in the air! B, B, boat, toot toot, sailing by! B is bouncy, and so am I! A buzzy little bee gave the ball a bump Into the forest with a bounce and a jump A friendly bear caught it, tossed it up so high Right into a balloon, floating in the sky! Uh oh, it rolled out, splash, into the lake A little boat came by, what a friend to make! It nudged that ball right back to Murphy's chair Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy everywhere! What starts with B? (Ball!) What starts with B? (Bee!) What starts with B? (Bear!) What starts with B? (Balloon!) What starts with B? (Boat!) Five bouncy things that start with B!

Download free PDFMurphy just wants his ball back, and on the way kids hear five words that start with the “b” sound: ball, bee, bear, balloon and boat. Each one pops up next to a big letter B, and Murphy says “B is for…” after every discovery, so the letter and its sound show up together again and again.
Say it short and bouncy, “b,” not “buh.” Put your lips together and pop them open. Kids can feel the pop by holding a hand in front of their mouth.
They are mirror images, so lots of young kids flip them. That's normal at this age. Tracing the little b in the game and on the activity sheet, always starting with the tall line, helps it stick.
