A banana is shown with its word, and a pair of cartoon hands claps "banana" one part at a time. Each part, ba, na and na, lights up in its own colour and gets a numbered dot under it. The three claps show that each part is a syllable, so banana has three syllables, and the video ends by asking children to clap each part to count the syllables.
