Looking for educational videos, songs, and games to help make great kindergarten, preschool, or pre-k lessons? Well, check these resources out:
Super Simple Songs: Driving in my car
Awesome and fun song! Make sure to sing with actions. "Driving in my car, brum, brum, brum". The kids will love to follow along. Especially when driving fast and slowly!
Dream English: Counting transportation song
A great song for the younger kids as it is fairly simple - counting to five with five vehicles. Great to clap along and do actions as you sing.
Dream English: What do you see?
Another great song from Dream English. You can lay out your Blooee flashcards on the floor or around the class, as you sing point and try to find the flashcards as they are being announced in the song. This is a lot of fun and the kids love it, especially as it gets faster. I clap and slap my knees alternatively to the rhythm, and make a looking gesture with hands to eyes on the "see" part of the song.
Maple Leaf Learning: Transportation song
A fun song that kids love. As always be sure to do the vehicle actions as you sing.

A fun short song for transportation. The video has four edits; with singing, with subtitles, without subtitles, and without singing.
