Materials
1. 5 poster boards or foam board to make a truck, motorcycle, fire engine, jet, horse (or you can make enough so that each student has one).
2. Pictures (shown below that you may use to copy onto the poster board)
3. Permanent markers
4. Hats to go along with the pictures (i.e. hard hat, helmet, fire fighter hat, cowboy hat)
5. Elastic to glue on back of boards for handles
6. The song Let's Go Riding from Red Grammer's recording, Can You Sound Just Like Me?
Draw and cut out each picture on poster board and color them or have the students color them.
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.
