Transportation Activities
Transportation Week is such a favorite in the classroom. Take time to talk about the transportation we use in our daily lives and classify land, air, and sea types of transportation.
Car Name and Scissor Craft
Your students will LOVE seeing their names on their own cars, and they will be practicing scissor skills along with placing the letters of their names in the correct order. Easy to edit and prep! The templates are available in my TPT store. See more here!
Transportation Art
Art projects are especially fun. Set up a variety of painting activities using cars and monster trucks.
On a large train table, make a ramp and give your students two trays of colors. They will mix the colors as the monster trucks go down the ramps. Place butcher paper on the whole piece of cardboard and add a piece of white construction paper to the top, and your students will have a piece of artwork to take home.
Place three trays of paint, using primary colors, and give your students cars to drive through the paint and then onto their paper. The results are beautiful.
Adding monster trucks to the easel throughout the school year is always a favorite!
Transportation Sensory Bin
In the sensory bin, add black beans and small construction vehicles. Guaranteed to be a favorite with your students!
Transportation Scissor Activity
Make roads on construction paper! Have your students practice cutting the dotted lines!
Transportation Math Activity
On the train table, draw parking spaces and either add numbers or counters. Number the cars for your students to match. You will be impressed with the kids’ attention span with this activity!
Transportation Stem Activity
For a fun STEM project, make boats out of foil. Have your students test to see how well they float and how many counters they can hold.
