02:57That's great! Maybe now you're ready to try learning the letters in your name
03:01Do you think so?
03:02Well, I think you might give it a try
03:04You know how I learned the first letter of my name?
03:07How?
03:08Well, I would just think of one of my favorite toys like this
03:12Car and Curtis both begin with C
03:15Let's all try to find things that start with the first letter of our name
03:19That'll be a fun way to help you learn the first letter of your name Linda
03:22It's a great idea! Let's get started!
03:31Look, I found this hat
03:33Hat and Hannah both start with the letter H
03:38How about this starfish?
03:40Starfish and Stephen both start with the letter S
03:46And Basket and Barney start with B
03:52And here's a leaf
03:54Leaf and...
03:57Linda start with L
04:00Good job Linda, you were right!
04:02And see, you've already learned the first letter in your name
04:07I'm learning to spell my name
04:10Each and every letter
04:13It's almost like a game
04:16And each day you get better
04:19I'm learning to spell my name
04:25A birthday card came in the mail
04:28I knew it was for me
04:31Cause on the front was my own name
04:34As I could clearly see
04:37I'm learning to spell my name
04:41Each and every letter
04:44It's almost like a game
04:47And each day you get better
04:50I'm learning to spell my name
04:56I drew a picture for my mom
04:59She put it in a frame
05:02Everybody knows it's mine
05:05Because I signed my name
05:08I'm learning to spell my name
05:11Each and every letter
05:14It's almost like a game
05:17And each day you get better
05:20I'm learning to spell my name
05:29Now you know the first letter of your name
05:32Good job Linda!
05:34Thanks Barney!
05:35Would you like me to stay here and help you learn the rest of the letters of your name?
05:38Okay!
05:39But don't forget about our baseball game this afternoon Chip!
05:42I won't Curtis!
05:43See you later guys!
05:44Bye!
05:45Let's get started okay?
05:47Okay!
05:53I know something else we can do with letters
05:55What's that?
05:56Well, we can make some letters and then have Barney guess which letters we've made
06:00I'm a good guesser!
06:02Sounds like fun!
06:03Okay, here's what we do
06:09Okay, are you ready Barney?
06:11I'm ready!
06:12Make a letter!
06:14Okay, let's see
06:16Straight line up and down and a crooked line
06:18That's a K!
06:19You're right Barney!
06:20How about another one?
06:22Okay
06:23Just one straight line
06:25I'd say that's an A!
06:27You're right again Barney!
06:28Here's the next one
06:31Let's see if I can guess
06:32A straight line up and down and one across
06:34That's a T!
06:36That's terrific Barney!
06:39Now here's the last letter
06:41You're right
06:42Let's see now
06:44That's an E!
06:46You're right Barney!
06:48That's great!
06:49And when you put those letters together
06:51They spell the word KITE!
06:54Wow!
06:56K-I-T-E!
07:00Flying so high with its tail in the breeze
07:05Up in the air with the greatest of ease
07:09Flipping and dipping with colors so bright
07:13I love to fly my kite!
07:17Whirling, twirling high in the air
07:21Whirling, twirling floating up there
07:25At the end of the string it's a wonderful ding
07:29I love to fly my kite!
07:36Look at it flutter and dance all around
07:40Hear the wind blowing it high off the ground
07:44Feel the string tugging but just hold on tight
07:48And you can fly a kite!
07:53Whirling, twirling high in the air
07:57Whirling, twirling floating up there
08:01At the end of the string it's a wonderful ding
08:05I love to fly my kite!
08:14Hey, hey, hey Miss Anna!
08:16I'm flying my kite!
08:17Well that's quite a kite Scooter!

08:58Thanks for helping me with the spelling bee Barney!
09:00You're welcome!
09:01What's a spelling bee?
09:03Well, it's a game to see who can spell the most words!
09:06I think I still need some practice before I can be the spelling bee!
09:10Well, I know a great way to practice letters!
09:13How about a parade?
09:15A parade?
09:16Sure, an alphabet parade!
09:27With the alphabet parade, you can see how words are made!
09:31Watch the letters marching in a row, march, march!
09:35Every letter has its place, and a very happy face!
09:39They spell the words we know!
09:42Watch the letters going by, you can wave hello, goodbye!

14:40And all we need now is an E.
14:43Oh, I found the E.
14:46Good job, Curtis.
14:48Now, put it next to the M.
14:51Oh, G-A-M-E.
14:56It spells game.
14:57That's right.
14:58And I know a game we can all play together.
15:06Now, boys and girls, it's time to play your favorite letter game.
15:11Name that letter.
15:13Now, let's meet your host.
15:15Here's Barney.
15:21Thank you, everybody.
15:22Thank you so much.
15:23Great to see you.
15:25And welcome to Name That Letter.
15:29The game that lets you, well, name that letter.
15:35Is everybody ready to play?
15:37Ready.
15:38Well, just give the wheel a spin.
15:43Round and round it goes.
15:46Where it stops, nobody knows.
15:50Now, name that letter.
15:53Steven.
15:55That's the letter S.
15:56School structure's S.
15:58You're right.
15:59Show me an S.
16:05Logan, the wheel goes round and round.
16:09Which letter will be found?
16:13That's the letter M.
16:15The word milk starts with M.
16:17All right, Hannah.
16:18Light up the M.
16:21It's a big red.
16:26Spinning, spinning like a top.
16:28Where, oh, where will it stop?
16:34That's an I.
16:35I is for ice cream.
16:36That's right, Curtis.
16:38How about an I?
16:41An I.
16:47Watch the wheel spin and spin.
16:50Round and round once again.
16:56I know that one.
16:57It's the letter L.
16:58Lemon starts with L.
17:00You're right, Steven.
17:01Light up the L.
17:05That's it.
17:07So, I'll give the wheel one last turn.
17:11Now, which letter will we learn?
17:19That's the letter E.
17:20E is for egg.
17:21You're exactly right, Hannah.
17:23Let's light up that E.
17:28Now, look at the letters all in a row.
17:31And you'll find a word that you might know.
17:34Just put the letters S-M-I-L-E together
17:38and you make the word...
17:41Smile!
17:43You're right!
17:45And I always smile when I'm with you.
17:52Thank you, everybody.
17:54I'll smile when I'm with you.
17:56Only in the morning when I get dressed
18:00because I always want to look my best.
18:03The first thing I do so everyone will see
18:07is put a great big smile on me.
18:11I put a smile on.
18:13A smile on my face.
18:15I put a smile on.
18:17I'm here at every place.
18:18I put a smile on.
18:20And soon I see
18:22the whole world smiling back at me.
18:26That's right, contestants.
18:29A smile is pretty.
18:30A smile is free.
18:32A smile is a gift to you from me.
18:35A smile is a present in a special way
18:39because you still get to keep it when you give it away.
18:44I put a smile on.

18:58The whole world smiling back at me.
19:18You know Barney,
19:19there's something I like to do that always makes me smile.
19:22What's that, Hannah?
19:23I like to read a good story.
19:25Reading is one of my favorite things to do, too.
19:28I like to look at books with pictures the best.
19:31So do I.
19:32And you know, looking at the pictures and the letters in a book
19:35is a good way to practice writing.
19:38Looking at the pictures, looking at the words,
19:42I love to read.
19:44A brand new story or one I've heard,
19:48I love to read.
19:50Reading a book or a magazine
19:53that I've never read before.
19:56I find out what I want to know.
20:00And then I read some more.
20:02Looking at the pictures, looking at the words,
20:06I love to read.
20:08A brand new story or one I've heard,
20:12I love to read.
20:14Reading the signs along the road
20:17to see what they have to say.

24:10Hey everybody.
24:11It's time for Barney Says.
24:22Hello again to all my friends.
24:25I'm glad you came to play.
24:27Our fun and learning never end.
24:29Here's what we did today.
24:32We had lots of fun playing school and learning the letters of the alphabet.
24:37Linda learned the letters in her name.
24:39I liked guessing the letters that Curtis and Stephen made.
24:42And when you put letters together, they can make all kinds of words.
24:46Learning the letters of the alphabet can really put a smile on your face.
24:50And learning the letters is the first step in learning to read.
24:54Just love to read.
24:56And remember, I love you.
25:09Bye.
25:10Bye.
