The Transportation Activity Theme is in the Rhyme
Navigation Down By the Station
A classic transportation song suggested by Pam S.

Down by the station
Early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies
All in a row
See the station master
Turn the little handle
Puff, puff, toot, toot
Off we go!

Wagon
Improvise a tune to this song offered by Pam S.

Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon
Let's ride off together!
Repeat using
* My little brown donkey
* My little black buggy
* My little blue trolley
* My little green airplane
* My little white sailboat

Lonely Bus Driver
Pam S. offers this transportation and counting rhyme. Improvise a tune and it's a song!

One lonely bus driver all alone and blue
He picked up a passenger and then there were two.
Two people riding, they stopped by a tree
They picked up a passenger, and then there were three.
Three people riding, they stopped by a store
They picked up a passenger, and then there were four.
Four people riding, happy and alive,
They picked up a passenger, and then there were five.
Five people riding open swung the door
Four passengers got off the bus,
The driver's alone once more.

The Wheels of The Bus
Children perform actions and sounds suggested by the words
The wheels of the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round
The wheels of the bus go round and round
All through the town.

The driver of the bus says Move On Back! Move On back! Move On Back!
The driver of the bus says Move On Back!
All through the town.

The people on the bus go up and down, up and down, up and down.
