Little Red Train
Everyone sits and waits at the train station. One person begins by pretending to be the engine. They walk about the room as everyone chants:

Little Red Train chugging down the track.
First it goes down, then it comes back.
Hooking on cars as it goes,
Little Red Train just grows and grows.

The "engine" calls for a "car" to hook on. Repeat the chant. The second
person calls a third to hook on. Continue until everyone has completed
the train.

Little sleeping dinosaurs
Oh, it’s nearly noon.
Oh, so still,
Are they ill?
Let’s wake them up....

Stomp little dinosaurs,
Stomp, stomp, STOP!

Repeat with: rocking, side to side, laughing, smooching

Core Vocab Targeted: go, up,down, out, off,on

Modified text:

Do you hear the whistle blow?
The Dinosaur train is ready to go!

They make fire and steam with lots of coal
That's what makes the engine go

All the dinosaurs wave goodbye
"We'll see you soon! The time will fly!"

The train is moving really slow
The dinosaurs want to help it go!

They push the train as hard as they can
It's so heavy, it's stuck on land

They throw out all the heavy stuff
The train climbs up , huff-puff, huff-puff!

A dark tunnel sends them down a slide
A dinosaur rollercoaster ride

They wave from side to side "Yippee!"
They yell and scream, "Look at me!"

"Oh no!", the brakemen shout.
The train won't stop, the bridge is out!"

They go faster than they thought they could,
The dinosaurs feel not very good-

They climb out and ride on top
They don't know how to make it stop

They are so scared they close their eyes
And then they get a big surprise-

They shoot like a rocket off the bridge
The train cars go across the ridge

They go through the air without a crash
For a moment they fly and then

KERSPLASH!!

"Agh" they groan
Let's get out of here and go back home.

They find a little car to share
And ride it back home to where

They have family and friends for hugging and playing
They don't want to get back on a dinosaur train-

But how about a dinosaur plane?
