Young children love songs about vehicles. Other than
the Wheels on the Bus, they are hard to find! This song works well
with the youngest children up to age five. The recorded song slows
down at the end of each verse to allow small hands time to manipulate
the motions.
Cut out five cars in different colors of felt. (The patterns are on
the Words link above.) Place cars on flannel board one at a time as you sing
the song. Take off the biggest and the smallest at the end of the
song.
Lots of Cars
There
are lots of cars driving down the street
(hands on steering wheel, turning back and forth)
Tell me what color car do you see
(place a felt car on
the board as you name the color)
Big cars, little cars
(spread arms on
“big”, bring hands close for “little”)
Beep, beep, beep
(hand taps nose 3
times)

VARIATION:
Make enough cars so that each child can have one. As you sing the song
and name each color, children with those cars can place them on the
felt board. This works well if you have a small group, or in a library
program of young children where a parent is present to help guide the
children.

you children enjoy this, check out
