Means of transport songs

A selection of nursery rhymes that can be used when learning means of transport. It would make sense if take the time to do a previous introduction in which we provide them with a bit of relevant vocabulary (e.g. train, bike, bus etc.), for example through a pre-activity. In addition, most of them admit mimics to provide the song with further scaffolding. Videos, with or without lyrics, are available for most of them, although I personaly think that it is better for young children not to see the written words till they get the correct pronunciation oraly on the first place.

-I'm driving on my car

I'm driving in my car, I'm driving in my car, 
Beep! beep! toot! toot! I'm driving in my car.


I'm driving very fast, I'm driving very fast,

Beep! beep! toot! toot! I'm driving very fast.


I'm driving very slow, I'm driving very slow,
Beep! beep! toot! toot! I'm driving very slow.
The light is turning red. I must stop my car,
Beep! beep! toot! toot! I must stop my car.
The light is turning green. I can go again,
Beep! beep! toot! toot! I can go again.





-The wheels on the bus 

The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All day long.
The people on the bus go up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
The people on the bus go up and down,
All day long.
The horn on the bus goes toot toot toot,
Toot toot toot, toot toot toot.
The horn on the bus goes toot toot toot,
All day long
The bell on the bus goes ding ding ding,
Ding ding ding, ding ding ding.
The bell on the bus goes ding ding ding,
All day long.
The wiper on the bus goes swish swish swish,
Swish swish swish, swish swish swish.
The wiper on the bus goes swish swish swish,
All day long.
The doors on the bus go open and shut,
Open and shut, open and shut.
The doors on the bus go open and shut,
All day long.
The mummies on the bus go chatter chatter chatter,
Chatter chatter chatter, chatter chatter chatter.
The mummies on the bus go chatter chatter chatter,
All day long.

The big ship sails on the alley, alley O,
 The alley, alley O, the alley, alley O.
 The big ship sails on the alley, alley O,
 On the last day of September.
The captain said " It will never, never do”
 never, never do; never, never do 
The captain said " It will never, never do”
 On the last day of September.
 The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea
 the bottom of the sea the bottom of the sea 
The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea 
On the last day of September.



-The runaway train

T'was in the year of '89 on that old Great Western line,
When the winter wind was blowin' shrill,
The rails were froze, the wheels were cold, then the air brakes wouldn't hold,
And Number 9 came roaring down the hill -- oh!
The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track and she blew,
The runaway train came down the track, her whistle wide and her throttle back,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.
The engineer said the train must halt and she blew,
The engineer said the train must halt and she blew,
The engineer said the train must halt -- he said it was all the fireman's fault,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.
The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew,
The fireman said he rang the bell and she blew,
The fireman said he rang the bell -- the engineer said "You did like h***!"
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.
The porter got an awful fright and she blew,
The porter got an awful fright and she blew,
The porter got an awful fright -- he got so scared he near turned white,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.
A donkey was standing in the way and she blew,
A donkey was standing in the way and she blew,
A donkey was standing in the way and all they found was just his bray,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.
The conductor said there'd be a wreck and she blew,
The conductor said there'd be a wreck and she blew,
The conductor said there'd be a wreck and he felt the chills run up his neck,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.
The runaway train went over the hill and she blew,
The runaway train went over the hill and she blew,
The runaway train went over the hill and the last we heard she was going still,
And she blew, blew, blew, blew, blew.
