Happy, Happy Transportation – Transportation Worksheet & Game

We started off with the revision of the type of freight train that I had introduced last Friday- hopper car, box car, tank car, flat car and caboose. Jun Qian also brought a hopper car toy to show it to his friends. There’s also some coal inside the hopper car. The children had a better idea of a hopper car.

Then we did a transportation worksheet on colours. Most of the children can recognize the name of the colours while some do need some guidance.

Caboose Game

This game is similar to Hen and Eagle game. I divided the children into 3 groups with about 4 children each. One person will be the caboose, who acts just like the character of the Eagle. The first person will be the train engine, act like the character of the mother hen, that has to protect the back portion of his/her train and avoid being caught by the caboose. The person who was being caught will be the caboose.

At first all the children were very alert and stay away from the caboose. After a while, when the caboose started to chase after them, they all started to break off their line and run around.

I guess we can have this game again tomorrow if time is permitted so that the children have a better idea how it should be played. 

We shall do the train art work on Wednesday. Hopefully all parents can help your child to look up for suitable boxes, toilet rolls, plastic egg cartons etc for creating a train. Thank you.
