The rules are simple: the teacher draws the vocabulary cards from a bag or box to announce the words. Students have to cover the corresponding images on their transportation bingo cards with chips. The winners are those who are the first to cover a horizontal line, a vertical line or all the available pictures on a bingo card depending on the rules you decide to follow.

Printable Transportation Dominoes

There is nothing better for memorizing vocabulary than a game. I love using printable games when teaching English to preschoolers and elementary school kids as playing is a natural way to learn things for young children. I try to design games for for every topic I teach. Dominoes are one of my favorite games. So today I’d like to share my printable domino cards I use to help kids memorize the transportation vocabulary.

Transportation Worksheets: Word Search

Word search worksheets are great for training children’s brains for faster word recognition and memorization. They also help kids learn spelling of key words they need to know for the future English fluency. Such worksheets are also fun because they may involve an exciting competition in the classroom as every kid is trying to be the first to find the hidden words. I design word search worksheets for each topic I teach and my students love such activities.This blog post offers printable word search worksheets for the transportation topic.

Transportation Worksheets: Crossword Puzzles

Crossword puzzles are another kind of worksheets I love. They are very effective for vocabulary memorization as they involve writing words with pen or pencil. Every language teacher knows than handwriting helps boost memory and the ability to retain the vocabulary. When solving a crossword puzzle, a student recalls the previously introduced vocabulary, re-processes it into words by writing them down, and re-reads those words multiple times in the course of accomplishing the task. So much brain activity involved! This kind of tasks are great for teaching kids to write and spell words. And, of course, I designed a couple of crossword worksheets for the transportation topic.

Transport Song Lyrics

Verse 1
How can we get to Paris?
How can we get to Rome?
So many means of transport,
So many ways to go.

Chorus
We can drive a car
No matter how far

We can fly a plane
As fast as a hurricane

We can go by train
Along a railway

We can take a bus
It’s so good for us

We can ride a bike
It's something all kids like

We can sail a boat
On sea in place of a road.

Verse 2
No matter how we travel
By train, plane, car or boat,
By bus, bike or whatever
We'll see the whole world!
