Car Colours

11 A4 cards showing a racing car in different colours. Great for reinforcing colour recognition, these cards would make an easy display for the creative area. Each card is bordered in the corresponding colour and shows the colour word.

Car Park Game

Designed to support numeral recognition and counting to 6, this game would make a great group activity. Simply print each child an A4 car park board and a set of six vehicles. The car park spaces are numbered and each vehicle has 1- 6 spots. To play, ask the children to roll a dice and find the vehicle with the same number of spots. They must then match the vehicle to the parking spot showing the corresponding numeral. Play until all the vehicles have been parked. The cards could also be used as a matching activity.

Getting to School Tally Sheet

An A4 grid titled "How do you get to school?" There are 3 columns showing ‘method,’ ‘tally’ and ‘total’ ready for the children to conduct their survey with. Each method of transport is illustrated – walk, car, bus & bicycle and there is a space for ‘other’.

Ordinal Tags

A set of 10 ‘tags’ showing the ordinal numbers 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, 6^th, 7^th, 8^th, 9^th and 10^th. I have used these when children are queuing to get on a ‘bus’ or ‘train’. There are two tags on an A4 page.

Plane Number Game

Print a copy of the A4 game board for each child who is playing. The board shows a colourful plane with numbered spots from 1 to 10. Children take it in turns to roll a dice and place the corresponding number of counters on their plane. Play continues until all of the spots are covered. This is a great game for adding by counting on and can also be played in reverse to teach subtraction.

Self Registration Cards

To aid name recognition, children are often asked to ‘self-register’ by placing their name into a basket or onto a display. These cards allow you to link this activity to a transport theme. The resource is an A4 document showing 6 cards, each with a picture of a form of transport – train, bus, boat, aeroplane, bicycle and car. The cards have an editable text box ready for you to enter the name of each child.

Traffic Survey

If you plan to take your children into the local environment to conduct a traffic survey then simply print off this ready made chart.  The first column shows different types of vehicles that might be seen - car, lorry, motorbike, bus bicycle.  The next two columns are for 'tally' and 'total'. 

Group Cards

If you decide to rename your groups using modes of transport simply type the name of each child into these A5 cards. They use the same illustrations as the self registration cards and are titled ‘Train Group’, ‘Boat Group’, ‘Bus Group’, ‘Aeroplane group’, ‘Car group’ and ‘Train group’.

Travel Tickets

These bus, plane and train tickets are a useful resource for the role play area. The bus tickets have spaces entitled ‘price’, ‘to’ and ‘from’ and are 4 on an A4 page.
