Once upon a time, there were some friends: Stegosaurus, Pterodactyl, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops, and their pals Dory, Patsy, Sanjoy, Tara, and Steggy Pumpkin. They loved to dream and play together!
One day, Harry wished he could fly high in the sky, just like a bird. He imagined zooming through the clouds super fast! His friend said, “Maybe one day you’ll fly in a plane like your mom!”
Harry was curious if he could fly without a plane. He thought, “Maybe in Dino World, anything is possible!” His friends agreed, and they decided to find out if they could fly.
Harry tried flapping his arms like wings. “Watch me fly!” he said. But he fell gently onto something soft. “Thanks, Steggy!” he laughed. His friends cheered him on, saying, “Don’t give up, Harry! You can do it!”
They tried different ways to fly, like pretending to be astronauts. “Three, two, one… liftoff!” they shouted. But it didn’t work. “System failure!” they giggled.
Just when Harry was about to give up, they saw a big balloon floating by. “Look! We can sit on it!” they exclaimed. It was like a flying picnic! They decided to bring snacks like popcorn and raisins for their adventure.
But oh no! Steggy got scared of the heights. “Get me down!” he cried. His friends quickly thought of a plan. “Let’s give Steggy a rope to hold onto!” they said. Together, they pulled Steggy down safely.
Harry’s friend Terence had a great idea. “I can fly up and help you, Harry!” he said. Terence flew up to the balloon and helped Harry reach Steggy. “Hang on, everyone!” they shouted as they all came down safely.
When they landed, Harry’s mom was home. She brought him a special pilot’s hat. “Flying a plane is fun, but flying with friends is the best!” Harry said with a big smile.
We learned that with a little imagination and teamwork, we can have amazing adventures! Even if we can’t fly like birds, we can always dream and play together. And remember, helping friends makes everything better!
Build Your Own Balloon Adventure: Gather some colorful balloons, string, and small lightweight toys or paper cutouts of dinosaurs. Help the children attach their toys to the balloons using the string. Let them imagine their toys are going on a flying adventure just like Harry and his friends. Ask them to describe where their toys are flying to and what they might see along the way. Encourage them to think about how they can help their toys if they get “stuck” or “scared” like Steggy.
Imagination Drawing: Provide paper and crayons or markers. Ask the children to draw a picture of their own flying adventure. What would they use to fly? Who would they take with them? Encourage them to include details like the weather, the time of day, and any special items they might bring along. Afterward, let them share their drawings with the class and explain their adventure.
Teamwork Challenge: Set up a simple obstacle course in the classroom or playground. Divide the children into small groups and give them a task to complete together, such as moving a ball from one end to the other without using their hands. Emphasize the importance of working together and helping each other, just like Harry and his friends did. After the activity, discuss how teamwork helped them succeed and how they felt when they helped each other.

**Transcript:**
Stegosaurus, pterodactyl, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops… Next up is Dory, Patsy, Sanjoy, Tara, and Steggy Pumpkin.
[Music]
I wish I could fly! I’d zoom through the sky at a million miles an hour, way above the clouds.
Well, I’m sure you’ll get a chance to go on a plane one day, just like your mom.
Do you think that was mom’s plane back there?
No, her plane won’t arrive until later today.
Uh-oh!
[Music]
My balloon!
Don’t feel bad, Harry. It’s only a balloon.
Yeah, it wasn’t like one of us floated up in the sky and was gone forever. If I could fly, I could have caught it.
Well, boys can’t fly, unlike me.
Well, maybe boys can’t fly here, but I bet they can in Dino World. Do you think so?
Hey, anything’s possible in Dino World! I bet if we tried, we could all fly.
There’s only one way to find out. Let’s go!
[Music]
Watch me fly!
Oh, oh! Harry! Harry! Are you all right?
Harry, how many wings am I holding up?
I’m fine! I fell on something soft.
Thanks, Steggy!
Anytime!
That settles it. I guess boys can’t fly here after all.
Don’t give up so easily, Harry. You might need a little help, but you can do it!
Hey, I’ve got an idea! Flap like this.
How’s this?
Oh, that’s good! Okay, I’ll count to three. Here goes: one, two… wait… three!
[Music]
Uh, thanks again, Steggy.
You’re welcome!
Um, let’s move on to plan B.
[Music]
Mission control here. All systems ready for final check to launch. Check, check, check, check… three, two, one… liftoff!
[Music]
System failure! Abort mission! No-fly zone!
[Music]
Thanks, Steggy! You did sing!
Anytime!
No problem!
[Music]
Terence was right. Boys can’t fly. I might as well give up.
Maybe not! Look!
[Music]
A balloon!
Oh, look! There’s even a place to sit! Did anyone pack a lunch? This would be a good place for a picnic.
Steggy’s right. We should take some snacks. This could be a long trip.
Who’s going on a trip?
But the extra weight could slow us down.
Nicely, we take popcorn. It’s light yet filling.
Harry, but it takes up too much room.
We should take raisins and games in case we get bored.
We’re not gonna get bored, Harry.
No, Stinky Steggy!
Oh, I’d like to come down now, please. I don’t like heights!
[Music]
Get me down!
Hang on, Steggy! We’ll get you down!
You can do it! You’re almost there!
[Music]
What are we gonna do?
Look, Paul! Terence!
Oh, it’s too heavy!
What are we gonna do? We’ve got to get him down!
I have an idea! Fly up and give this rope to Steggy. Then we can all pull on it and bring him down.
Good thinking, Patsy!
Go on, Terence! You can do it!
[Music]
Sticky, sticky! Grab the rope!
Okay, I got it! One, two, three…
Um, the ground seems to have disappeared!
[Music]
Unless I’m very much mistaken, this is not working.
It is kind of fun!
Don’t worry! I won’t let go, Steggy!
Let go!
Whoa! No! I changed my mind!
Sticky, no! Here it goes!
Oh!
Nice of you to drop in!
Our pleasure!
[Music]
Don’t be scared, Steggy! We’ll get you down!
Sing, Steggy! Sing a brave song to keep your courage up!
Okay!
Yeah, uh, I can sing!
I’ll sing a brave song to keep my courage up, but not so high up in the sky as I am!
I’ll keep my spirits up until I’m down again!
Down on the ground again!
[Music]
I got it!
We have to let the air out of the balloon!
You’ve got it, Harry! By my calculations, the air would escape in 9.6 seconds, bringing the balloon down to earth with a rather large crash.
But still, it would be down!
I have to get up there, but how? We’ve tried everything!
There’s no way!
Yes, there is! You can fly!
I can’t fly!
But I can! I may not be strong enough to bring the balloon down here, but I bet I can bring you up there!
What do you say, Harry?
I say ready for takeoff!
This is just like flying!
Are you okay, Terence? Am I too heavy?
Oh no!
Well, maybe just a little.
You can do it, Terence! I know you can!
[Music]
It’s not much farther now!
Oh yeah! There it is!
I’ll keep my spirits up, but not so high up until I’m down on the ground where I…
[Music]
Harry, hang on! Steggy, we’re coming!
Oh, I knew you’d come!
Mind if I hitch a ride?
Hang on, everyone!
We’re going down!
[Music]
Hey, there they are!
[Music]
You did it! You rescued Steggy!
Where’s Terence?
[Music]
Here I am!
Mom’s home!
I brought you something! A pilot’s hat! The pilot who flew my plane wore one just like it!
Thanks, Mom!
Flying a plane must be fun, but flying without a plane? That’s the best!
[Music]
[Applause]
