About this resource

Description

Cars, trains, airplanes and boats all help people get from place to place, and young learners love to talk about them. The modes of transportation activity helps kindergarten and 1st grade children sort ways to travel by where each one goes: on a road, on tracks, in the air or on water.

Children take turns spinning the Where Does It Go? spinner, then place a matching vehicle card in the right box on one of two sorting mats. The first player with no cards left wins, and the game can be played again and again. A kindergarten practice page asks children to circle the vehicles that travel on water, and answer keys make checking quick.

What’s Included

  • Bright cover and a How to Use page for the teacher
  • 12 vehicle picture cards (three for each place) on two cut sheets
  • Two sorting mats: Road and Tracks, Air and Water
  • Where Does It Go? spinner for a paper clip and pencil
  • Kindergarten practice worksheet: circle the ones that go on water
  • Answer keys for the card sort and the practice page

Why Kids Love It

  • Spinning and racing to empty your hand feels like a real game.
  • Big, bright pictures of buses, trains, helicopters and ships are fun to name.
  • Every card has one clear place to go, so children can check their own thinking.

Teaching Ideas

Start by asking children how they got to school today, then sort their answers together. Use this kindergarten community activity in a social studies center, a small group or a take-home game bag. After the modes of transportation activity, invite children to draw one more vehicle for each mat, or take a walk and count the kinds of transportation they see.
