Hello, I’m Bob the Train! Are you ready to go on a space adventure with me? Let’s hop on the space train and explore the planets. We’ll have lots of fun and games along the way!
Can you see Mercury? It’s the closest planet to the sun. Do you think it’s hot there? Don’t worry, you’re safe with me! We won’t get too close. Let’s count to ten together while we look at Mercury.
Look, there’s Venus! It has burning clouds all around. Is anyone living there? Let’s shout, “Hello!” Venus looks a bit like Earth, but no one lives there. Let’s keep moving on our space adventure!
What’s that pretty blue planet? That’s our Earth! We can see the seas, lands, and snow. Earth is special because we can live here. It has the air we breathe and it’s just the right temperature—not too hot, not too cold.
Can you guess what’s next? It’s the red planet, Mars! It’s the fourth planet from the sun, right after Earth. Mars is beautiful and has a special name. Do you remember it? Yes, it’s Mars!
Now, we’ve reached Jupiter! It’s the largest planet, as big as a thousand Earths! Jupiter has a big red spot and many moons. Let’s keep singing our planet song as we continue our journey!
Look at that beautiful planet with rings! That’s Saturn! Let’s take a ride around its rings. They are made of crystal ice. Imagine living there—wouldn’t that be nice?
Next is Uranus! It has a green-blue glow. We can’t see inside because of all the gas. What do you think it’s hiding?
Here comes Neptune! It’s a pretty blue planet called an ice giant. It even has some water. Isn’t that cool?
We’ve seen all the planets, but there are many more exciting things in space. Next time, we’ll explore even more! Let’s keep having fun and games aboard the space train!
Planet Art Project: Let’s create our own solar system! Gather some colored paper, scissors, glue, and crayons. Cut out circles for each planet and color them to match what we’ve learned. For example, make Mercury a small gray circle, Venus a yellow one, and Earth a blue and green one. Arrange them in order from the sun and glue them onto a large piece of paper. Can you remember the order of the planets? Share your artwork with your friends and family!
Space Adventure Storytime: Imagine you’re an astronaut on a space adventure like Bob the Train. What would you pack for your trip? Write a short story or draw a picture about your journey. Which planet would you visit first, and what would you do there? Share your story with the class and see what exciting adventures your friends have imagined!
Planet Observation Walk: Go on a walk outside and look for things that remind you of the planets. Maybe a round rock looks like Mercury, or a puddle reflects the blue of Neptune. Take notes or draw pictures of what you find. How many planets can you find in your neighborhood? Discuss with your classmates how these everyday objects remind you of the planets in our solar system.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Can you see Mercury? It’s so close to the sun. Will it be hot in there? We don’t want to burn. Oh no, you’re safe with me! We will not get too close. Sit here and count to ten from our head to our toes.
[Music]
Look, there is Venus! There are burning clouds. Is anyone inside? Let’s give them a shout. Hello! Is there anyone in there? It’s shaped just like the Earth, but no one lives there. Come, let’s go on our way along the planet’s ride.
[Music]
What’s that pretty blue thing? That’s our Earth! Yes, those are the seas we see, and the lands and snow. We can live there; it’s got the air we breathe. It’s not too hot in there and not too cold, indeed.
[Music]
Can you guess what’s ahead? It’s the red planet! Let’s take a closer look. It’s beautiful! I bet it is the fourth planet; it comes right after ours. Do you know what it’s called? Its name is Mars.
[Music]
We’ve come to Jupiter! You can see it’s very large, the largest of them all—big as a thousand Earths! It’s got a big red spot and many moons. Let’s move on our trip, shall we? Singing the planet’s tune!
Let’s go on a ride where I will be your guide. There will be fun and games aboard the space train!
[Music]
That looks so beautiful! It’s got rings all around. Saturn is its name! Let’s take a ride around.
[Music]
Oh, there are many rings, each made of crystal ice. I wish I could live here. Wouldn’t that be nice?
[Music]
In front is Uranus! It’s got a green-blue glow. Why can’t we see inside? Because of all the gas. Hello! What are you hiding inside?
[Music]
Neptune is right ahead! It looks a pretty blue. It’s called an ice giant, and it’s got some water too.
[Music]
You saw the planets all, but there are many more things to see out here. Next time, we’ll see them all! Let’s go on a ride where I will be your guide. There will be fun and games aboard the space train!
