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.

-The runaway train
T'was in the year of

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!
