A two-line poem about five frogs is read while the frogs jump into a pond one by one. Then its sound play lights up one kind at a time: "sun" and "one" rhyme, "five funny frogs" share the same start sound, and "Splash!" is a sound word. The poem is read again with every sound lit, and the video ends on the idea that poems play with sounds, so they are fun to say.

What the lesson says
What makes a poem fun to say?
Listen to this little poem about frogs.
Five funny frogs nap in the sun.
Splash! In they jump, one by one.
Let's find three ways poems play with sounds.
Listen to the ends: sun and one.
They end with the same sound, so they rhyme!
Now listen to the starts: five, funny, frogs.
All three words have the same start sound.
Splash is a sound word that sounds like water.
Now read it again with me.
Five funny frogs nap in the sun.
Splash! In they jump, one by one.
Poems play with sounds, so they are fun to say!
