Are you teaching about community helpers, such as mechanics, or is your theme transportation? Is your child simply excited about cars? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you’ll want to check out the preschool fingerplay below.
The Three Little Blue Cars fingerplay promotes learning to count to three, problem-solving, and builds vocabulary.
Three Little Blue Cars
Original words by S. J. Little
Tune/rhythm: Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
Three little blue cars driving down the road,
One popped a tire and could not go.
“Oh no!” said the driver. “What shall we do?”
“Call the mechanic to make you good as new.”
Two little blue cars driving down the road,
One hit a big tree and crushed his bumper.
“Oh no!” said the driver. “What shall we do?”
“Call the mechanic to make you good as new.”
One little blue car driving down the road,
He blew his engine and smoke billowed out.
“Oh no!” said the driver. “What shall we do?”
“Call the mechanic to make you good as new.”
This fingerplay lends itself well to visuals. Therefore, I put together a free printout for you. I recommend either printing it on blue paper or colouring the cars blue after you have printed them out.
