Hey there, little friend! Are you ready for a fun adventure with the Mighty Express? Let’s hop on the train and see where it takes us!
Our story begins with a train named Penny. Penny is super excited because she gets to take some kids to Camp Itchiknee for a fun campout! But first, Penny needs to get all cleaned up and ready. She sings a fun song while getting washed and tuned up. Can you sing along?
With everything ready, Penny picks up the kids and their camping gear. They’re all set for a weekend full of fun activities like swimming, hiking, and telling stories around the campfire. And guess what? They get to eat yummy s’mores too!
Penny’s friend, Nico, suggests a faster way to the camp through the Bat Cave Tunnel. But Penny is a little scared of bats. Have you ever been scared of something? It’s okay to feel that way!
Instead of going through the tunnel, Penny decides to take a longer route. But oh no! The camping gear falls off the train! Luckily, Penny’s friends help pick it all up. Teamwork makes everything better!
Penny realizes she needs to be brave and go through the Bat Cave Tunnel to get the kids to camp on time. With her friends by her side, she finds the courage to face her fear of bats. And guess what? The bats aren’t so scary after all!
Finally, Penny and the kids arrive at Camp Itchiknee just in time for s’mores. Everyone is happy and ready to enjoy the campfire stories. It’s a perfect ending to a fun adventure!
Today, we learned that it’s okay to be scared sometimes. With friends and a little courage, we can overcome our fears and have lots of fun. Remember, you’re never alone when you have friends by your side!
Thanks for joining the Mighty Express adventure. See you next time for more fun and learning!
Bravery Badge Craft: Let’s make our own bravery badges! Gather some colorful paper, scissors, glue, and markers. Cut out a circle or star shape from the paper. Decorate it with drawings or stickers that make you feel brave. Write “Bravery Badge” on it. Wear your badge proudly and remember that you can be brave just like Penny!
Fearless Friends Role Play: Pair up with a friend and think of something that might be a little scary, like a dark room or a big dog. Take turns pretending to be brave Penny and her friends. How would you help each other feel less scared? Practice saying encouraging words like “You can do it!” or “I’m here with you!”
Nature Walk Adventure: Go on a mini adventure in your backyard or a nearby park with a grown-up. Look for things that might seem a little scary at first, like a big tree or a buzzing bee. Talk about how these things are not so scary when you learn more about them. Can you find something that makes you feel brave?

[all] Make tracks!
Penny, set, go!
[thuds] [honking]
– [bell rings] This is gonna be the best. A whole weekend at Camp Itchiknee!
– I’m not sure about this. It’s Jaden’s first sleepaway camp. So he’s a bit nervous.
– You’ll love it! You can swim or hike or even sail a boat. And then, we’ll tell spooky tales around the campfire.
– Spooky tales?
– Yeah, but the campfire is the best part because we get s’mores!
[all cheer]
[bell ringing]
[bell dings]
[all cheer] Camp Itchiknee, here we come!

– [alarm beeps]
– [Nico] Penny, come in Penny! I just calculated an even faster way to camp. If you head straight through Bat Cave Tunnel, you’ll get there in time for s’mores at sunset.
– Uh-oh, Bat Cave Tunnel.
– [screeches] [bat clicking] A bat!
– [groans] And the cave’s full of them!
– [whimpers] You know, kids, it’s such a beautiful day! Anybody want to see what’s down this track?
– You do? Great!

Whoa! Hang on, kids!
– Oh, no! Our camping stuff!
– [gasps] It all fell off. And we can’t camp without it.
– Finally! Some good news! No more camping.
– [clatters] Mighty-scoop, activate. I got this.
– Is that all?
– Ahh, not quite.
– Phew. Okay.
– Now is that all?
– Yup.
[all laugh] All set, Penny.
– But why are you going this way? The other way is much faster.
– You mean through Bat… [shudders] …Cave Tunnel?
– Because, uh…
– Penny said it was prettier this way!
– Okay. But sunset will be here before you know it, and…
– You’re right! Which means we gotta go! Bye!
– Penny, that’s not the way to Bat Cave Tunnel either!
– Brooke calling Max. Max, Penny’s headed up the wrong way again!
– That’s strange. There’s a problem with that track. There are no tracks. I’ll call Milo!
– I’m here, Max but so is Penny.
– Incoming!
– [all gasp] Blast-pack.
– [groans]
– [brakes screech] Penny, you’re still going the wrong way.
– It’s okay!
– Negativo! According to my calculations, this way takes way longer.
– And according to my tummy, you might arrive too late for s’mores.
[all] Aww.

I can’t let the kids down even if I have to go through… [shudder] Bat Cave Tunnel.
Okay, Penny. You can do this.
[bat clicks] Maybe you can’t do this.
I know how you feel, Penny.
– You do?
– Yeah, I’m afraid too. I’m scared about sleepaway camp.
– And spooky tales.
– Don’t be scared, Jaden. I’ll be with you the whole time.
– Aww. With your sister by your side you won’t be scared at all.
– Yeah, she’s the best.
Now I know what I need to do. Max, I’m going to need my train friends to help me out.
[Max] You got it, Penny.
Brooke? Milo? We’ve got Train Trouble!
[all] Mighty Trains Go!
Brooke, Milo. I’m so glad you’re here. ‘Cause there’s something I didn’t tell you before. I’m scared of bats. That’s why I didn’t come this way. But I have to get these kids to camp in time. I could use a friend or two to help me through.
– Done. Let’s all do it together!
– [gasps] Penny, set, go!
We’re almost there.
[bats chittering]
We’re here with you, Penny.
[shudders] Extreme close-up bat.
[Penny] Hey, I’ve seen you before! You don’t look so scary up close.

[owl hoots] It’s Penny.
[whirs] Hey, kids. I think you’re gonna want to ride on top for this next time.
[all exclaim]
[all] Whee!
[lively music] Done and delivered! Just in time for s’mores!
– Yay, s’mores.
– [all cheer] S’mores.
I am so hungry.
Then, the ghost turned around slowly and looked at the little boy. And you know what the boy did? He said…
– Boo!
– [all gasp]
– [all laugh]
