(we see Joji playing a tambourine)

Joji: Oh, hi there! How are you? Hi, I'm Joji,

(the name 'Joji' pops up in blue)

Joji: and this is my tambourine! (plays) And this is my room. (zooms out) Which...I'm going to share with you. Would you like that? That's great!

(Nene buzzes)

Joji: Oh...hi, Nene. This is Nene, my friend.

(the name 'Nene' pops up in blue)

Joji: She loves to fly around, sleep, and sing, though silently, (laughs) right, Nene?

(nene buzzes)

Joji: Huh? What's that? Nene says that she wants to say 'Hi!' to you, through a song. Would you like that? Alright, let's go!

♫ Hello, hello, hello, ♫

♫ Hello, how do you do? ♫

♫ I'm glad to be with you, ♫

♫ and you, and you, and you ♫

♫ Tralala (4x) ♫

(laughs) Wasn't that fun? You want to join us? (pause) Okay, come on, sing with us! Ready?

Cathy: That was really fun!

Ogot: More! Let's sing some more!

Joji: Well, okay, we can sing it again, but first, why don't you introduce yourselves...to them? I got it. Why don't we say something about ourselves first, so let's say our name, and then, what do you love to do? Alright, does that sound good? Who wants to go first?

Cathy: Me, me, me!

Joji: Alright, Cathy, go ahead.

Marj: Now that we know each other's name, maybe...we can play a game!

Joji: Whoa, those are very nice rhyming words!

Marj: Uh...rhyming what?

(colorful wave transition)

(the words 'rhyming words' pop up in a red blob)

Joji: Rhyming words. Rhyming words are two or more words that have the same ending sound. Like what you just said, 'name', 'game'.

(the words pop up below in red)

Joji: They have the same ending sound.

Ogot: 'Name', 'game', 'name' and 'game'. They do sound alike.

(colorful wave transition)

Joji: That's right! (plays) Many poems and songs use rhyming words, just like the one we sang earlier.
