Teacher Convinces Kindergartners He's A Mermaid (OFFICIAL)

- Throw back to the best groups of kinders I've ever worked with. They were obsessed with all things under the sea. So I figured, why not run with this one a little bit and see how far we can go. ;)
Quick note:
This was during snack time! No learning minutes were wasted on these 5 minutes of fun. Kids need brain breaks. Especially 5 year olds! Chillllllllll. When I first posted this I had a fellow teacher (total negative Nancy, hater) in my district tell me it was "wrong to lie to children like this." To which I replied with "Honey, I've watched you convince your own children that there's a 6 foot tall walking, talking mouse who lives in a castle in Orlando, Florida. So... Are we done here?"
Hope you enjoy! And as always, likes, comments and subscriptions are much appreciated!!!

“If I wasn’t a mermaid could I do this??”
The entire class: “WOAHHHHHH!!”
Thats was my favorite part🤣🤣🤣
He is just a genius HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
The kids are sound so cute. Amazed
@@did4196 hi 1 hour ago
Time stamp?
“No that’s a stereotype “ that’s hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
I died here
The H2o fans agree 😂😂
🤣
When he said that I was so caught off guard at the fact he said that to a kid 😂
I convinced my students (first graders, in Korea) that I was an extraterrestrial. They were on the fence until I pulled out my Alien Registration Card (my Korean foreigner registration card, which uses the word “alien”). They were 100% convinced after that. I kept the joke up for a long time, but eventually I got a couple complaints from parents saying their kids were obsessed with it.
Omg 💀😂😂😂
😂 😂😂😂😂😂
lol 💀
This is 100% amazing 👏
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
“Luca agrees I’m a mermaid!”
Well of course Luca agrees because he’s a sea monster and has seen you in your mermaid form in person soooo
PERIODT
PREACH
HAJSJSJ PREAACH
That's what I was gonna say 😂
AHAHAH
Ok, I'm convinced, he's a mermaid.
Told ya..
😂😂😂😂
Lol
So am I....😅
@@payalsharma9103 ok
in 5 years ur students gonna be like “remember that one teacher saying he’s a mermaid”
Lmao yes that's gold
That’s like so funny
This is going to be with them til high school hahaha I love it
Lmao so true 😂😂😂
And how they all believed it
"I could go in the sink, but there's one problem."
"What?"
"I'm too big."
"OhhOoh" 😂
I love them

This is actually a great activity to challenge the kids' critical thinking skills.
Was thinking the same!
I think that was the goal and teaching acceptance of people who does not fit the normal stereotype. Well done teacher!!
He could have also given examples of real mermaids, like St Murgen of Northern Wales and the story of the Mermaid Chair in the church in Cornwall, England.
I agree with several of the comments here. Teaching critical thinking and getting them to ask questions. Also, I love that he was subtly teaching about acceptance, which is very important. Great job, teacher!
@@karenaugustin2078 Yeah lying to kids is fun!
"I was born in the depth of Lake Michigan" LMAOO
I know plenty of people who ended up in the depth of Lake Michigan, but I can't really talk about that.

“ my Mom’s name is Ariel “ 😂

Problem is Ariel only had one child, you never knowwwwwww

@@Oneandonlyamirali **shocked pikachu face**
Me whos name's Ariel while watching this video: 👁👄👁
“My mom’s name is Ariel-“
Me as a kindergartner in the mid 90’s: “Then why don’t you have a sister around named Melody?”
Ikr
Melody is her daughter
@nibblez_the_clown oh I must've misread that
"I was just born this way!"
Ohh, I see the metaphor here.
If my kindergarten teacher was a gay mermaid, life would have been so different.
Facts 💯
LOL!
Yeah😁
🤣🤣🤣
my life would have been 10x better lmao
My parents told me I was really a baby elephant and they loved me so much they arranged for a special operation to remove my trunk. That’s why I was too heavy to carry inside when I fell asleep in the car on the way home. I absolutely believed them.
That's sweet
That’s so cute 🥺
Super cute ❤
Thank you. It is a sweet memory.
Awww
Ok just imagine the kids getting home and telling their parents that a teacher is a mermaid
The parents like 👁️👄👁️
😂😂😂
I'd have wanted all my kids to have the same teacher when they were in that class
Honestly if the video didn’t convince you enough, a kid with a full heart who believes something, definitely can.

I know. Then of course, my fear sets in, as in: when will they cancel this guy because of his unconventional teaching methods? How dare anyone be unconventional?
“why are you big now?”
“Cause I grew?” LOL
Plot twist : what if he’s actually a mermaid and we all are being fooled by him
Bitch... do U always think like this 😂

Not a rick roll ruclips.net/video/ONBsVlum7C4/видео.html
I'm quite surprised at how good their questions are!
Kids are smart actually yes😁
Kid's brain man. More creative than anything else.
Little kids seem to be better at critical thinking than a lot of adults.
@@TheLadyDelirium that's a good point, I agree
I've seen it and experienced it myself as a kid, I remember mocking things perceived as immune to critique or sarcasm. It's always funny looking back at it and how unafraid I was. I'd really like to work with kids and enforce that specific quality about them.
This is what happens when you respect kids' ideas and treat them like they are capable of understanding. They will surprise you with their maturity and knowledge! Haha
It’s true, the movie Luca was based on his story.
Yea!!!OMG!Coincidence!!! Goosebumps!!!😮😬
"When I'm a mermaid, my hair is WAY longer" GOD I'M WHEEZING
Oh my god I saw this comment and I was like “whaat I can’t remember commenting on this video” and then I realized ur comment isn’t mine, we just have the same pfp😂 nice pfp btw

He actually gives me a lot of mermaid vibes. Like now i genuinely believe he's a mermaid
It's been two months since there are no reply to your comment so I am gonna do it.
Hi there 😁👋👋
@@piyalichhajed6009 Oh hi! That's so kind of you! I was actually having kind of a bad day but your comment made me feel better
It would explain how he is so magical
Your comment made my day! I was having a bad one..
we believe in mermaid 💆♀️
Why couldn't I have had a teacher that was this fun and crazy. LOL
You would love him!!!! He used to be a teacher in my school! He was great!!!
@@maelynn8361 I hope he reads your nice comment
Right?? I mean don’t get me wrong, I had an awesome kindergarten teacher. At least there’s not that one kid that says jellyfish don’t live in fresh water, but in salt water.. lol. Also hilarious that no one gets he’s using parts of the little mermaid..
@@tigergreg8 - and cute!
Same! And my mom too would have been happy cause I would wake up early and would never cry before going to kindergarten!
the fact that he's talking in sich a composed and convincing way. I believe he's a mermaid!
"Why are you a teacher?" - "I like being surrounded by kids sometimes and also I want to teach you about mer-culture" 😂😂😂
I feel like this is a metaphor of coming out
SAMECLMAOOO
agreed
Was just thinking this
Exactly, this is teaching kids in a fantasy and interesting way to accept others and be respectful around things like this
He literally said “I was born this way” 😂
Next time convince your students that you are a wizard and learn some science tricks to prove it to them. That would be awesome and Hilarious. 😂😂😂😂
Yes that’s a great idea!
i was born at the depths of lake Michigan! 🤣🤣
good idead ,ye idea shahitha
Yea u have an awesome idea😄
Great idea! 😁
2:20 Luca: I believe in mermaids
ofc you do Luca, now we all know you're also one 😂
"Luca agrees" Luca is loving the representation in his new school
4:53 theyre so impressed when he did that XDD
And THAT was proof enough to them that he's a mermaid🤣
Nothing boosts your self esteem more than a bunch of kids hyping you up for just being able to pick your legs off the ground while sitting. 🥺 If they believe in me then I believe in me.
Lmaoo
omg I tried to do it :o He is a merman
I laughed SO HARD when he did it!!!! Freaking kids, man 😂
I had to entertain a group of kids once... decided to tell them I was Mrs. Claus. In a similar fashion, they had many questions. They were little- when they see me now at church, they always call me Mrs. Claus. Oh, and I ended up with a Nicholas! XD
Haha !! I love the way the world works sometimes, that’s hilarious
I told my cousins I used to be one of Santa’s elves and during Christmas they were asking me questions about him haha
@@hailey_the_ace_of_hearts4127 Oh, so you've met my husband? ;)
Awwwww❤️❤️❤️❤️
You did better than me. My friends aunt left her child with me when I asked her not to.... During fireworks. And the kid started asking "why do we have fireworks" and this spiraled out to me basically telling this kid the plot of independence day and saying the aliens wouldn't come back because of the fireworks. And they yelled at me for it. Like wtf
The dislikes are the people who think he's not a mermaid 🤡
If he wasn't a mermaid, could he do 4:57? 🧐
100th like
@@ASHERUISE WOOOOOOOOW
😂 haha good one
Or people that think he should be working without filming. He’s being paid to be a teacher not a RUclipsr.
4:48 So this is the school luca went to and the end of the “luca” movie. He was probably so happy to have someone of his own kind at his school :)
Spoiled the ending for me 😆 but it's okay 🎈
I love how he takes a moment to teach the kids not to taunt him because he’s a mermaid which will teach them not to taunt other kids because they’re different 🙌🏻🙌🏻
EDIT: OML mama I’m famous thank you for the likes 🥲
ikr... I think the kids of like rn.. will be awrsome peoe tbh judging by this teacher... like i wish every kid had a teacher like that guy
He's also teaching them to lie
@@heavenphillips3867 All actors are liars.
@@heavenphillips3867 People lie to their kids about Santa and the Easter Bunny
@@heavenphillips3867 oh, and the tooth fairy
As someone who works at a preschool I love playing with the kids like this. Telling them my hair's pink because I dipped it in strawberry jam, I live in a castle, my colleague's a squirrel and so on and so on :')
Omg😂
I convinced my preschool class that I used to be Santa's head elf but got fired because i kept forgetting kid's names. 😂👌
@@Lilly-dk5bg 😂
When I grow up and work at a preschool I'm telling them stuff like this too (eat your vegetables or else Malnutricia will come for you, MWAHAHAHA!!! ...not really the best thing to say to kids...)
😂😂
Nobody:
Captions:
"Also you have to be super respectful to me because i'm a mUrDer person."
and murder culture
"Teach them about mer-culture"
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Subtitles: "Teach them about murder culture"
I had the volume low and thought he actually said that😅🤣
When I was around 5 I wanted to be a mermaid so bad! I asked my older sister how and she said I had to be submerged in water for 24 hrs. I filled the bathtub up with water, fell asleep and the next day my mom found me in the tub thought I drowned and died. I have never ever been slapped so hard in my life.
I can imagine 🤣🤣🤣🦢
Your sister should’ve been the one slapped!!🤣
Your mom was in the wrong, should of slap the sister 😃
oh no🥺🥺🥺 Ig ur sister didnt think youd do it.. well i hope she thought u wouldnt do it
Did u leave home after that incident?
‘That’s a stereotype’ 🤣🤣🤣 living for this vibe lol
That's so creative.. It takes students' curiosity to another level and improves their thinking capacity as well.. Most importantly hopefully they tend to accept and respect diversity of society and not to discriminate people. And also in another hand they understand what we see in a person outside does not define who they really are and people have their own stories.
I love how he speaks to the children. Hysterical. So fun. Their questions are why I love kids. This is cuteness overload.
He said, “mer-culture!” 😂😂
I believe in mermaids. There are stories about atlantis, glorious Poseidon and the like.
Teacher: If I wasn’t a mermaid , could I do this?
Everyone: WOOOOOOOOWWWW
ruclips.net/video/w86rotpPU1Q/видео.html ...
I’m the 666th like:’))
The kids not getting the "I was just born this way" reference makes me question how many good zingers I missed my teachers saying when I was a kid😥
These kids are showing better critical thinking than many adults I know.
2:20 LUCA , believes him because he is also a sea creature in the human form 😎
real cute movie
I noticed how Lucas name was similar to the movies, that's why I thought something was off whenever I heard Luca there
when they grow up they definitely going to remember they once were fooled by thier teacher
I doubt once*
Imagine this being recommended to them when they’re older, then they’ll be like, THAT WAS MY TEACHER!
Except the 6 who weren't, they gonna think they were too smart.
We all believe deception and lies as a kid
But he really is a mermaid, no fooling here. Even Luca agrees he really is!
“You know those things you drop in water and they grow?” Lol. I laughed so hard!!!!
He is an intriguing teacher that i've ever seen, raising the curiosity for children to engage in the conversation completely.
And I love the imaginary questions from the most adorable students.
2:23 “BECAUSE I AM ONE THATS WHY YOU BELIEVE IN MERMAIDS”
I love the last part where he flips his legs up and everything one is amazed 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well that convinced me! :)
I love how he is sassy af too... I wouldn't expect anything less from a mermaid/merman. 😂👌🏼
Luca: I believe you coz I am a mermaid too
Him: thank you... Um wait what?
I did this years ago. I told them I was Ariels best friend. We went to the aquarium for a field trip and all the sea turtles swam to me. Those students swore the sea turtles knew me. Haha. Those same 5-6 year olds are 15-16 now. I wonder if they remember that story or me. Lol. I was an assistant.
I'm sure some of them will forever remember you as a real life mermaid.
awww so cool, i'm sure some remember
Lol!! I was volunteer in a junior kindergarten class years ago, (while I was a college student) I remember very clearly doing story time for the little ones, one of them picked the book of the day. The book was basically a simplified version of the stages of a butterflies life, its perils..etc.. (a picture book of course.) At one point I held the book up so everyone could see the image of the monarch butterfly; I asked, "Has anyone here seen a butterfly like this one before?" The response was not what I was expecting..some said yes, then one piped up and announced he'd seen a turtle once! Then it went to a free-for-all as far as subject went...😂 I love how absolutely random some of those conversations would go, I miss those days.
"If I was a mermaid, could I do this?" 😂
Lmaoooo
I'm Dead ☠️☠️☠️
I love how you’ve tried to teach the children that people are born different and that’s ok, it doesn’t change the person or how you should interact with them, he is also teaching the children how to be respectful of other they will encounter in life xxxx
“If you throw water on me it won’t work” H2O Just Add Water lied to us all. 😂
"it's not like I'm the wicked with of the west, I'm a mermaid" 😂😂😂😂
I’m a Kindergarten teacher. This gives me an idea! So we have this mermaid tail blanket. It’s not very big. We’re gonna stuff it with... stuff and make it look 3D. Then, I’ll tell my students I’m a mermaid and try to explain it. Meanwhile, my daughter will just randomly raise the tail every now and then. Lol. Their reactions will be precious!
Omg please record itt
That is adorable oh my gosh 😂🥺🥺
if you do it tell it!
I dont think it will be as convincing as this guys story though.
Its cute how they're like "Ahh ok I believe you" its so cute..
Of course “Luca” would agree!!🤣 1:50
LOL
When he started moving his legs and all the kiddies go "woOahh" 😂
You better dress up as a Mermaid with a jelly fish in your hair for Halloween next year. This is awesome!
the jellowfish, never forget the jellowfish😂
Agreed!! He totally has to!

"Um, Andy- you would actually be wrong, I _am_ a mermaid."
I love how he keeps a straight face, always quick intelligent comebacks to the kid’s questions and comments. he is great
“Can we just throw our water at you” 💀😂😂he was quick to answer that
This was a great activity to get the children to ask investigating questions.
It was also a good way for the kids to learn to accept and respect other people and their differences, this could have been a metaphor for "coming out" if you like
Not a rick roll ruclips.net/video/ONBsVlum7C4/видео.html
@@alextheconfuddled8983definitely a metaphor for that, but to show kids that spinning a convincing tale can be a lie
"Have you ever seen one of those things that you drop into water and then they grow? That's how merpeople grow."
I loved that one 🤣😂
“i was born this way”
i just KNOW he loved saying that hahah
The "depths of Lake Michigan" was where he got me 😂
"Why would I do it now, there's no water" had such gaslighting energy i cannnnnntt
"gaslighting energy" lmao 💀😂
..
Those kids are going to have serious trust issues in the future😂😂
When he did the leg swing thingy I CANT KEEP MY COMPOSURE HAHAHAH
I love how the kids were in awe too 💀💀
HE RLLY DID LOOK AT THOSE 5 YEAR OLDS IN THE EYES AND SAID IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WRITE THEM DOWN IM CRYINH
Best way to interact with kids. Tell them that you're a mermaid. But to be real with y'all, I did this in kindergarten where I said I had a mermaid tail (because Ariel was my favorite princess when I was 6 years old) and everyone of my peers believed it XD
"If you have any questions write them down"
At a kindergarten...
😂
Then being impressed with him waving his legs really and truly sent me
That was very brave! It's hard to tell others you're a mermaid because there are so many doubters, young and old. Keep living your best mermaid life!
I did this to my student, saying im a vampire. They believed it cause of my fangs 😂
Asians have fangs 🤣🤣🤣 so we have vampire ancestors
I was literally waiting for him to take back what he said😂
“In the depths of Lake Michigan “ 🤣 Love this Guy
I hope he really capitalized on this to help the children learn skills on how to be with people who are different from them. It is an awesome opportunity!
I think to help them learn to discern false claims with a convincing story.
“My moms name is Ariel,”
Your such a quick thinker! Lol
"I was born in the depths of Lake Michigan, I am a true mermaid."
My heart stopped.
I'm not American so I don't get the joke, can you enlighten me?
There's always that one teacher in every school 🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting for the kids to say " Why aren't you a merman?"
Because nobody else can sing like that!
Omg "CAN WE THROW WATER AT YIU SO YOULL BECOME A MERMAID" how cute 😂😂😂
I was like ''someone has seen H2O'' 😂
The fact that LUCA said he believed you were a mermaid.
IYKYK
"Mr. D, you're not a mermaid, I know you're not."
That kid knew about all this sheet lol
He's mixing The Little Mermaid and Splash and I'm loving it
The “right?” and shrug thing is very good. Like “yeah, kind of common sense right?”
If he was my teacher, he would have been my HERO! ❤️ We need more teachers like him!!
I love the ending..."I'll see you at the bottom of the sea" 🤣
Omg this makes me want to be a kindergarten teacher lol
Lol
Kindergarten is the best age! So much fun!
If mermaid tails weren't so expensive, they could go on a swim trip and they'll get to see his tail
"At my house, sometimes I just sit in the tub and let my fins come out"
"AH" Lmao too cute
Obviously this wasn't the intention of the video, but it really goes to show just how gullible children are and how reality can be changed in their eyes through authority figures...
And how authority figures can encourage or discourage bias in children.
