Once upon a time, there was a monkey named Chico Bon Bon. He had a special tool belt and loved to fix things! One day, Chico and his friends were playing a fun game called “Will it stick?” They tried to see if different things would stick to a big glue ball.
Chico and his friends learned about something called an “adhesive.” An adhesive is something sticky that helps things stick together, like glue or tape. They found out that peanut-flavored bubble gum is an adhesive because it sticks!
Suddenly, there was a big shake called a “burpquake” because a bird ate too many burritos! The shaking made things fall and break all over town. Chico got a call on his banana phone from Mrs. Coleslaw. Her favorite plate broke, and she needed help!
Chico and his friends, the Fix-It Force, rushed to help Mrs. Coleslaw. They used a special glue called Grippy Glue to fix her plate. But oh no! The glue was so sticky that Chico and his friend Clark got stuck together!
Next, they got a call from Mayor Murphy. The playground slide was broken, and the kids couldn’t play. Chico used the Grippy Glue to fix the slide, and everyone was happy again!
But then, something funny happened. Everyone got stuck together with the glue and started rolling like a big ball! They were heading straight for the Museum of Fragile Things, where everything is very delicate.
Chico had a great idea! They used peanut-flavored bubble gum to stop the rolling glue ball. Everyone blew bubbles, and when they popped, the sticky gum stuck them to the ground. Hooray! The museum was safe!
After everything was fixed, Chico and his friends used a special spray to get unstuck. They were happy to help everyone in town and sang a fun song about being stuck together like glue.
And that’s how Chico Bon Bon and his friends learned about adhesives and had a sticky adventure. Remember, if you ever need to stick things together, you can use glue, tape, or even bubble gum!
Sticky Experiment: Gather a few household items like paper, plastic, fabric, and metal. Use different adhesives such as tape, glue, and peanut butter to see which items stick best to each other. Ask the children to predict which adhesive will work best for each item and then test their predictions. Discuss why some adhesives work better on certain materials.
Adhesive Hunt: Go on a mini-adventure around your home or classroom to find things that are stuck together using adhesives. Look for items like stickers, glued crafts, or taped posters. Ask the children to identify the type of adhesive used and why it might have been chosen. Encourage them to think about how adhesives help in everyday life.
Creative Storytelling: Have the children create their own short story about a sticky adventure. They can draw pictures or use toys to act out their story. Encourage them to include a problem that needs fixing with an adhesive and a creative solution, just like Chico Bon Bon. Share the stories with the group and discuss the different types of adhesives used in their adventures.

[Clark] “Chico Bon Bon and the Gigantic Glue Ball.”
[Chic and Rainbow] Will it stick? Next up is an extra-slimy banana peel.
[all] Will it stick?
No stick. What’s next, Rainbow? An old boot.
[sniffs] Mmm. Stinky, but is it sticky?
[all] Will it stick?
No stick. All right, Clark, it’s your turn.
What have you got to test? Peanut-flavored bubble gum.
[gum pops] Oh, perfect!
[all] Will it stick?
It sticks!
Yay! Peanut-flavored bubble gum is an adhesive.
This is where you say…
Oh, ah. [clears throat] Adhesive?
What’s an adhesive? Something sticky!
An adhesive is something that can stick to a surface or stick two things together, like glue, or tape, or, in this case…
-bubble gum!
For sticking two things together or bonding them. Yay, adhesives!
Whoa! What was that?
That was a massive burpquake! The cause? This burpy bird, who ate three burritos for lunch!
The shaking has caused breaking all over town.
If you’re an engineer with a banana phone and a name that rhymes with “Nico Long John,” prepare for a busy day of engineering!
[alarm blares] The banana phone!
[action music playing] Nico Long John.
I mean, uh, Chico Bon Bon.
You got a problem? We can solve ’em!
Oh, Chico, it’s just terrible! That big burpquake shook my favorite plate off the wall, and it broke in two.
Oh, no! Hang tight, Mrs. Coleslaw. We’ll be there in a jiffy.
All right, Fix-it Force, we need to fix Mrs. Coleslaw’s plate.
We’ll need an adhesive to stick the pieces back together.
Excellent! I’ll bring my clicky-sticky tape.
Tape is an adhesive, but not the right one for this job.
To make the plate look good as new, we need to use glue.
Ah-ha! Then I’ll use my patented, all-purpose, spectacularly sticky, extra-grippy Grippy Glue!
Wow! Now that’s an adhesive!
So sorry, Chico! Uh, Chico, where are you?
Right here.
The Grippy Glue stuck you two together. You’ve bonded.
So we have. Must be the Grippy Glue.
We’ll unstick ourselves later, Clark. Mrs. Coleslaw needs us.
You got it, glue buddy!
This is a chance for some Chico-Clark bonding time.
Get it? Bonding?
How about a glue buds duet?
Or should I say, glue-et?

[both] ♪ I’m stuck on you ♪
Fix-It Force, time to bring the awesome!
[kids] Chico Bon Bon! Clark! Rainbow Thunder! Tiny!
[action music playing]
Oh, my favorite plate. Look what that burpquake did to you.
Don’t worry, Mrs. Coleslaw. You just need some Grippy Glue.
Tiny, I’m going to need precision nozzle number 47.
Just need some glue on the edge, and…
How’s the repair going, Chico?
Going fine, buddy, but I need you to hold really steady.
Applying the adhesive now. There! Good as new!
Yay!
Let me get that.
Whoopsie! Oh, get back here, glue.
Clark, wait! Whoa!
Clark, look out!
And… got it! Whew!
Hey, where is everybody?
[Rainbow] Up here!
Oh, there’s nothing I love more than a group hug.
Thanks for fixing my plate, Chico.
Chico… I’m stuck.
It’s the glue. This adhesive has bonded you to us.
But don’t worry. We’ll get you unstuck.
[banana phone rings]
The banana phone!
Chico Bon Bon, monkey on an elephant.
Oh, Fix-It Force, there’s a big problem at the playground. You must hurry!
We’ve gotta help Mayor Murphy.
Uh, you don’t mind coming along, do you, Mrs. Coleslaw?
Sticking around with the Fix-It Force? It’s a dream come true.
All right, then!
There’s a little song we sing when we’re bonding.
♪ Like sticky glue or gum on a shoe ♪
[all] ♪ I’m stuck on you ♪
Ah, Fix-It Force! And Mrs. Coleslaw?
Don’t mind me, dear. I’m just along for the ride!
The burpquake has shaken the playground to shambles.
The kids want to play, but look, the slide is in pieces!
How will the children slide? They love sliding.
Oh! Won’t somebody think of the children?
Don’t worry, Mayor. I can fix the slide with Grippy Glue.
Ooh, I’ve got an idea! A skateboard trick!
Okay, all the pieces are in place. Just need to glue ’em together.
Do hurry up. I can’t hold it much longer.
Ready, Chico? Grippy Glue is good to go!
I don’t remember the slide being this tall.
It wasn’t. I gave it a loop-de-loop. Here we go!
Pow Pow Meow!
Sticking the last piece.
And sticking the landing.
Yay!
All fixed. What do you think, Mayor Murphy?
Uh, Mayor Murphy?
Uh, well, this is quite a sticky situation.
I can get you unstuck… right after we take this call.
Great work, everyone! That was the last repair.
Thanks for sticking around.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, Fix-It Force.

[all] ♪ Stuck on you ♪
Aw! You guys are the best! Nice voices, too.
But Clark, you must be tired of carrying everyone around.
Oh, I’m fine. I could carry you guys around all day as long as I don’t lose my balance, or trip, or–
Oh, peanuts!
I did it again!
I’m Neil Ostrich, your beak on the street, reporting live from the giant glue ball!
All of Blunderburg is stuck together with glue and is on a roll straight towards the Museum of Fragile Things!
Chico, you have to do something.
The Museum of Fragile Things is full of things that are very delicate and break easily.
Like that vase!
I got this! I’ll use Grippy Glue to stick us to the street. That’ll stop us!
Oh, no! It’s empty, and we’re picking up speed!
And I’m starting to get dizzy!
We’re all stuck together, and rolling out of control, and can’t stop!
What are we gonna do?
You’re going to take a banana break.
Okay. We used the Grippy Glue to fix everything in Blunderburg, but the glue got all over everyone.
And now we’re all stuck together and rolling through town!
We’re out of glue, so that can’t stop us.
What else is an adhesive?
[all] Will it stick? Will it stick? Will it stick?
It sticks!
Blazing bananas, that’s it!
Clark, may I have some peanut-flavored bubble gum?
Wow! I didn’t know you liked it so much.
It’s not just gum, Clark. It’s an adhesive!
If we all blow a bubble, and it pops, the sticky gum will bond to the ground and stop us!
And stop this glue ball!
Everyone, take some bubble gum and pass it around.
Okay, everybody, now blow a bubble!
It sticks!
Oh, thank goodness! The Museum is safe.
Hey, we heard something about a gumball that needs fixing?
This Glue-Be-Gone spray is quality stuff.
We got everybody apart. The vase is all fixed, thanks to my new and improved Grippy Glue.
A little less sticky, a little less tricky.
I’m sorry I got us all stuck together.
No way, Clark! I had a blast bonding with you guys.
