Book: A Train Goes Clickety-Clack by Jonathan London, illustrated by Denis Roche
Song: “The Wheels on the Train” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
The wheels on the train go clickety clack,
Clickety clack, clickety clack,
The wheels on the train go clickety clack,
On the railroad tracks.
Additional verses:
The engine on the train goes chug, chug, chug…
The conductor on the train says “Ticket please”…
The people on the train go bounce, bounce, bounce…
The whistle on the train goes toot, toot, toot…

Flannel: “This Little Train” (Tune: “This Old Man”)
This little train painted black,
It comes chugging down the track
With a “Choo-choo! Toot-toot!”
Hear the whistle blow.
This little train goes chugging home.
This little car painted blue,
It has seats for me and you
With a “Choo-choo! Toot-toot!”
Hear the whistle blow.
This little train goes chugging home.
This little car painted yellow,
It shimmies and shakes like a bowl of jello
With a “Choo-choo! Toot-toot!”
Hear the whistle blow.
This little train goes chugging home.
This little car painted green,
It’s the fanciest car you’ve seen,
With a “Choo-choo! Toot-toot!”
Hear the whistle blow.
This little train goes chugging home.
This caboose, it is red,
It will take you home to bed
With a “Choo-choo! Toot-toot!”
Hear the whistle blow.
This little train goes chugging home.

Fingerplay: “Engine on the Track”
Here is the engine on the track. (hold up thumb)
Here is the coal car, just in back. (pointer)
Here is the box car to carry freight. (middle)
Here is the mail car…don’t be late! (ring)
Way back here at the end of the train (little)
Rides the caboose through the sun and rain. (make a circle with hands above your head, then wiggle fingers from high to low to emulate rain drops)
