A title reads: Bamboo Loves Music. Created by Tero Hollo

A narrator says, HI BAMBOO LOVE. WHAT INSTRUMENT WOULD YOU LOVE TO TRY TODAY?

White text in a peach-coloured heart reads: Maracas.

The narrator says, MARACAS!

Bamboo Love bounces a ball from paw to paw. The ball rolls off and Bamboo Love looks sad.

The narrator says, AW, IT'S OKAY! YOU COULD ALWAYS GET IT BACK.

(Maracas shaking)

Bamboo Love says, HUH?

The narrator asks, WHAT IS THAT SOUND YOU'RE HEARING?

Bamboo Love looks confused.

The narrator says, OH, I HEAR IT TOO!

Bamboo Love looks around.

The narrator asks, BUT WHICH WAY?

Bamboo Love walks away.

An elephant shakes two maracas with its trunk.

The narrator says, OH, LOOK! IT'S BABY ELEPHANT SHAKING TWO MARACAS WITH HER TRUNK!

(Baby Elephant squeals)

The narrator asks, DO YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH BABY ELEPHANT?

Bamboo Love says, UH HUH!

Bamboo Love takes on maraca and shakes it while holding the top.

The narrator asks, UM, BAMBOO LOVE, DO YOU KNOW HOW TO USE A MARACA?

Bamboo Love shakes their head.

The narrator says, WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEARN?

Bamboo Love says, UH-HUH!

The narrator asks, BABY ELEPHANT, COULD YOU TEACH BAMBOO LOVE HOW TO PLAY THE MARACAS?

Baby Elephant says, BREE-BUUP!

Baby Elephant gives Bamboo Love the other maraca and walks off.

(Bamboo Love giggles)

Baby Elephant walks back, carrying four more maracas. Baby Elephant sets two of the maracas on the ground.

The narrator says, THAT'S RIGHT, BABY ELEPHANT. MARACAS SHOULD BE PLAYED IN PAIRS.

Bamboo Love waves the maracas upside down.

(Baby Elephant squeaks)

Baby Elephant shakes her maracas. Bamboo Love flips the maracas around.

The narrator says, THERE YOU GO. YOU FOUND THE MARACAS HANDLES.

Bamboo Love says, MMM.

The narrator continues, MARACAS ARE EGG-SHAPED PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS THAT NEED TO BE SHAKEN TO MAKE COOL UPBEAT SOUNDS! WANT TO TRY?

Bamboo Love jerks the maracas.

The narrator asks, CAN YOU SHAKE THE MARACAS LIKE BABY ELEPHANT?

Bamboo Love says, MM-HMM.

Baby Elephant shakes her maracas. Bamboo Love joins in.

The narrator says, GOOD SHAKING! CAN YOU DANCE AND SHAKE AT THE SAME TIME?

Bamboo Love says, MM-HMM!

Bamboo Love dances and shakes the maracas.

The narrator says, WHOA, GREAT SKILLS! DO YOU WANT TO TRY SOMETHING NEW?

Bamboo Love nods. Penguin walks over, carrying a blue tablet.

The narrator says, OH, HELLO PENGUIN.

Penguin says, WHA!

The narrator asks, WILL YOU BE HELPING SHOWCASE THE MARACAS FOR BAMBOO LOVE?

Penguin says, WHA-WHA!

Penguin holds out the tablet. On the screen is a picture of a pair of maracas.

The narrator says, MARACAS, ALSO KNOWN AS RUMBA SHAKERS, ARE EASY TO PLAY WITH! YOU CAN EXPERIMENT WITH THE RHYTHM AND PLAY THE MARACAS UP, SIDEWAYS, AND ALL AROUND!

The narrator says, THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT LESSON, PENGUIN. WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY THE MARACAS AS WELL?

Penguin says, WHA-WHA! WHA-WHA!

The narrator asks, WHICH MOVEMENT WILL YOU TRY NEXT BAMBOO LOVE?

Bamboo Love shakes the maracas. Penguin and Baby Elephant shake their maracas.

OH, WHAT A WONDERFUL MARACAS MELODY YOU ARE ALL MAKING TOGETHER. WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY SOME MORE BAMBOO LOVE?

Bamboo Love says, MM-HMM!

Bamboo Love flips a maraca onto Baby Elephant’s head. She flips it back to Bamboo Love. All three of them shake their maracas and dance.

The narrator says, WHAT GREAT TEAMWORK! HAVE FUN PLAYING THE MARACAS!

(Music playing)

The narrator says, TODAY WE LEARNED ABOUT MARACAS. BAMBOO LOVE LEARNED THAT THE MARACAS ARE INSTRUMENTS THAT NEED TO BE SHAKEN IN PAIRS TO MAKE COOL, REFRESHING, AND UPBEAT SOUNDS.
