Beep! Choo! Zoom! Honk!
(Tune: "Coming Round the Mountain")

We値l be going on vacation in our car.   (Pretend to drive a car.)
Beep-beep.                                            (Pretend to honk horn.)
We値l be going on vacation in our car.
Beep-beep.
We値l be going on vacation.
We値l be going on vacation.
We値l be going on vacation in our car.
Beep-beep.

Train - choo choo        (Put arms by sides and pretend to chug.)
Plane - zoom zoom     (Make a plane with your hand and fly around.)
Bus - honk, honk         (Pretend to pull down on a horn.)
Oh, we値l all have lots of fun when we go
Beep beep, choo choo, zoom zoom, honk honk. . .

Graph - Discuss different types of transportation. Make a class graph of the type of transportation they would choose if they went on a trip. Show the children a globe or a map and have them problem solve how they could get from your state to another place in the world. For example: "If you wanted to go from our school to the South Pole, how do you think you would get there?"

Maps - Children are fascinated by maps. Most states, cities, and chamber of commerce offices will send you maps free. Invite children to make a map of your classroom, school, or community. This would be a good project for a small group to work on.
