Exploring the jobs that transport does eg.
How refuge lorries collect waste and recycling, an ambulance will visit and if necessary take us to hospital.
A car transports us to friends, family and takes us shopping

Ideas for transport themed activities

bumper to bumper book - on amazon this is a great read. More storybooks with a transport theme are listed on this page - transport stories


Various transport line drawings / outline templates can be found here and can be used for mark making, collage & colour fill activities.

Road safety activities

Plant pot rocket, space shuttle building


Trackoff.org have a good selection of railway safety resources

Jean Warren has a great Transportation theme if you scroll down the page a little.


Best wishes

What about horses and carts.They used horses to deliver milk.pough fields.Tow canal barges.Shire horses are still used as dray horses.The cavalry are transported etc.with horses.Stage coaches etc.Used to deliver fast mail.
Transport through the ages could be used as part of the theme,land,sea and air sections.
Even the pigeon was used as transport to carry important messages.
