We’ve put together a fun set of transportation word wall cards to give your little ones a visual reference highlighting the different types of transportation they see in their daily lives.  Transportation word and picture cards include the following.

truck   car SUV tram

Ways to Use the Types of Transportation Word Wall Cards

  • Using our printable transportation word wall cards, have students build models of different vehicles using play dough or air-dry clay.
  • Hide small toy vehicles around your classroom and give your learners the chance to go on a scavenger hunt. As they find the different vehicles, have them bring them back and sort them by placing them on top of the correct word card.
  • Combine dramatic play with movement. Place the transportation theme cards face down on a table and have students randomly choose one.  They must act out the type of vehicle they were given while classmates try to guess which vehicle is being referenced.
