On the Go (Two's)

Opening: Big Books

Fingerplay: If You Want to Hear a Story

Book: Night Light

*This book is so much fun! Each page opens up with only the lights showing of the vehicle, and the kids can guess what they think is hiding behind the page. The two's really got into it and was excited to see what was vehicle was coming up.

Fingerplay/Flannel: Transportation Matching Game

*I was a little hesitant to do this with the two's, but they did great with it! I will definitely be doing more interactive flannels like this one in the future. Check out how to do this wonderful flannel at this website.

Fingerplay/Flannel: Wheels on the Bus

File Folder Story: Old MacDonald Had a Truck
*This is such a cute story to tell, and I love changing the color of the truck right before the kids eyes. Check out the full story and how to do it here.

Fingerplay/Flannel:

My friend duck Is hidden behind a truck. Is my friend duck Behind the _____ truck?

*This is always a fun game to play, and I love that the truck fit right into the theme this time.  Here is where I found this adorable game.

Book: Seals on the Bus

*A great take on the classic song, but with animals! My volunteer popped up the animals behind me as we sang, and the kids loved it!

Fingerplay/Flannel: Dump Trucks

Garbage truck, garbage truck, cleaning up town.

Do you see any garbage lying around?

Pick up the trash and match it to a truck, soon the whole town will be all cleaned up!

*This is a great interactive thing to do, but we ran out of time for it today. Check it out here!

Book: Zoom, Zoom, Baby!

*We didn't read this book, because I had a little too much planned! But it's a great lift-the-flap book for the two's.

Fingerplay/Flannel: Truck Dancing

*For this, I made lots of trucks, laminated them and put velcro on the back. I handed them out and we danced around with them before placing them on the flannelboard.

For our craft today, the kids placed foamies onto the road. We didn't have to use gluesticks, since the foamies were self-adhesive. The website where I found this craft isn't available anymore. Above is our version of it.
