Activity

1. Play the song Let's Go Riding while students dance in a circle with their vehicle.

2. When the song stops ask one of the students where they are going in their vehicle or who they are visiting today. Encourage students to do the talking and use their imagination.

*A car is not in the song “Let's Go Riding.” However, many teachers like to add verses and we added the car verse to our workshop. We have included the car picture in this lesson.
