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.
