- Ask specific questions about each mode of transportation, such as its speed, capacity, and purpose.
3. Hands-On Activities:
- Provide learners with toys or models of different vehicles.
- Organize a field trip to a local transportation hub (e.g., a bus stop, airport) where learners can observe various modes of transportation in action.
4. Songs and Poems:
- Introduce songs or poems that highlight different types of transportation, such as "The Wheels on the Bus" or "I've Been Working on the Railroad."
