KidsBarney!

Whoa!

Oh, hello there.

I'm so glad you came to play.

It's always nice to see a good friend.

Whoa!

Peekaboo, I see you.

Do you know what these are?

This is an "A," "B" and "C."

"A", "B" and "C" are all letters of the alphabet.

Hmm, what can we do with these letters?

We can spell a name.

My name starts with a "B."

Oh, I think our friends in the caboose might like this "B."

Come on, let's go.

Here's the "W."

And "X!"

Then "Y", and "Z" goes here at the end.

We're almost done, Whitney.

But we're still missing the "B."

Any luck, Jackson?

Sorry, Stacy, I can't find a "B" anywhere.

(♪ Humming Tune )

Oh, I have a "B."

KidsBarney!

Oh, hi, everyone, it's great to see you.

That's a big "B."

It's real big.

So, where would you like it?

It's supposed to go right here.

Hmm... Something's not right.

It's too big!

StacyIt won't fit.

Well, I can fix that.

Whoa-oh!

( Kids Exclaiming )

BarneyIs that better?

KidsYeah.

Now we can sing our ABCs.

BarneyRight, Jackson.

Thank you.

What's it say, Jackson?

It doesn't say anything.


Yes, it does.

"Come to a tea party at the big tree today."

How did you get all that from a bunch of scribbles?

Because I wrote it.

See? There's my name... Baby Bop.

AllAhh...

What a nice invitation.

Thank you, Barney.

But it is scribbly.

I don't really know how to write my name.

This is what a "y" looks like.

It goes here.

BarneyNow we have "B," "a," "b" and a "y."

That spells "Baby."

Oh, I like learning about letters, Barney.

It's like a game.

Can we do some more?

Sure, let's see

Now your name has one, two, three Bs.

Does it say "Baby Bop" now?

Not quite.

The next letter you need to learn is an "o."

What does an "o" look like?

Well, it's round, like a circle.

An "o" looks like this.

Yeah, like this.

Or you can make a bigger "O," like this.

Ooh, "o's" do look like circles.

Let's make some more circles.

Okay, follow me.

Right this way.

Baby BopOh, goody. Come on.

Now, everyone hold hands.

Good.

Now, back up...

and stop.

What are we doing?

We're holding hands...

And making a circle.

A really big circle.

The last letter in Baby Bop's name is a "p."

Can you think of any words that start with a "p" sound?

There's "purple."

And "pickle" starts with a "p."

Do you like pickles?

I know BJ does.

Ho-ho!

Pickles are crisp and green and sour.

They give Captain Pickles his...superpower!

Oh, hi, everybody.

I'm pretending to be Captain Pickles.

Do you like my cool cape?

Yeah, and check out my mask.

Hey, will you play Captain Pickles with me?

We can pretend to have superpowers.

Let's show off our superstrong muscles.

Ha! Check it out.

Yeah, and we can jump high, higher than the tallest tree.

Let's do a Captain Pickles super jump.

Ready, set, go!

Whoa!

Great jumping!

Oh, um, are you okay?

Didn't you see the stop sign?

Oh...sorry, Barney.

I guess I should be more careful.

I'm always careful when I cross the street.

You need to practice, BJ.

We'll have tea and cookies and put on dress-up clothes.

That sounds like fun.

I like to dress up.

Uh...Baby Bop?

I don't see any tea or cookies.

Um...Oh... oh, no.

I was so busy learning how to spell my name,

I forgot to make the tea party.

That's okay, Baby Bop.

Maybe I can help.

(♪ Music )

AnnouncerEvery parent needs a helping hand.

Barney brings the essential development skills

your child needs for learning

through educational activities and play.

Identifying letters is an important step

for young children when learning to read.

In this episode, Barney and his friends

help Baby Bop learn the letters in her name.

Building with blocks

can expose young children to letters while they play,

while scribbling helps children develop

the fine motor control they'll need

to write their own letters and numbers.

The alphabet song can help children learn letters

in a fun way.

Think of some new ways

you can teach the letters in your child's name

and make a game out of learning the alphabet.
