Never underestimate the power of a simple song! I always joke
that if I were trapped on a desert island with young children
and could only take five songs, this would be one of them.
After singing this with children for over thirty years, I
recently introduced it to my three year-old grandson while we
were in the car for forty-five minutes. He quickly took it as
his own, and requested additional trucks to sing about--- for
the entire trip! I think the key with young children is making
sure you sing it slowly so they can join in, and of course, ask
for their ideas about trucks to include. They have endless
ideas!
On the following pages I致e included a printable book with
pictures to match the song; but you can use any book with
pictures of vehicles, or felt shapes on a board.
You値l also find a WORD template for this and many other songs
and DIY books on my SingWithOurKids website at
www.singwithourkids.com/family-lit-printable.htm
However you sing this simple song, be ready to sing it a lot and
often!
I値l Drive A Dump Truck
I値l drive a dump truck, dump truck, dump truck
I値l drive a dump truck all day long!
(repeat with school bus, airplane, tow truck, and
choo choo train)
