On the road to knowledge with music for 3 to 6 year olds!

Today, we are going on a journey to discover shooting stars.

Pictures of our little adventurers in action - can you come and play with them?

🎼 Ready to move, sing and dream?

This first melody will take you on a musical discovery of the world!

🎤 Move, sing, discover!

Let's get adventurous with this second soundtrack. 😀

🎙 Read the lyrics to our music:

The lyrics of the two songs are identical, only the melodies are different.

The adventure begins with a story and discoveries for 6 - 8 year olds!

📝 Quick summary of key information

Where do shooting stars come from and why do they shine in the sky?

Shooting stars come from space. They are often small pieces of rock or dust that enter Earth's atmosphere. Imagine little rocks traveling in the sky!

They shine because they move very fast and rub against the air. This rubbing heats them up and makes them shine like stars. It's like when you rub your hands to warm up!

Shooting stars can help us understand space better. They show us that tiny particles travel in the universe. It's like messengers from the sky!

They are called 'shooting stars' because they suddenly appear in the sky and quickly disappear, like stars that zoom by. It's a magical sight to see!

The Train and the Shooting Stars

Where do shooting stars come from and why do they shine in the sky?

The Mysteries of the Shooting Stars

After solving the shiny puzzles in the train car, Léo and Léa discover that the symbols they put together are magic formulas‎ (1). With these formulas, they understand how Albert Einstein used letters and numbers to explain the mysteries‎ (2) of the universe. A curious squirrel watches them through the window before the train glides gently under a sky full of shooting stars. Léo and Léa are amazed by this sight. They wonder where these shooting stars come from and why they shine so brightly.

Léo, amazed, shouts:
« Look, Léa, shooting stars! »

Léa, amazed, says:
« Yes, they are wonderful! »

Léo, with wide eyes, asks then:
« Why do they shine? »

Léa, curious, whispers then:
« I don't know. Maybe Albert Einstein knows. »

A short time later, Albert Einstein, sitting near them, explains that these shooting stars are actually meteors that collide with the air in our atmosphere‎ (3). The friction‎ (4) created by this fast entry heats up the meteors, making them glow like stars. Léo and Léa listen carefully, their eyes wide open, while Albert Einstein draws simple diagrams to illustrate his explanations.

Albert Einstein, with a mischievous smile, begins to explain: « These shooting stars are messengers from the cosmos‎ (5). »

Albert Einstein gives Léo and Léa a carved star with the last symbol to complete the entire Map of Relativity‎ (6).

The Map of Relativity

With the engraved star in hand, Léo and Léa watch the glowing lines appear. They are amazed by the complex equations and diagrams that show up.

Léo, amazed, whispers:
« It's wonderful! »

Léa, curious, asks:
« What does this mean? »

Albert Einstein, with a mischievous smile, leans towards the kids and says: « These lines show how gravity‎ (7) bends space and time. »

Léo, eyes sparkling, then asks:
« And the light? »

Albert Einstein, with a cheeky smile, is about to explain:
« Light always travels at the same speed, no matter how fast you are moving. »

Léa, amazed, says:
« Wow! This is amazing! »

With the engraved star in hand, Léo and Léa feel a new energy flowing through their veins. The locomotive slows down, and the doors gently open to reveal an unknown landscape. In front of them, a glowing path stretches out, lined with flowers and bushes. A little gray squirrel greets them with a wave of its paw, as if inviting them to discover what lies at the end of this path. What new adventure awaits them?
