Trains--Virtual Storytime

Alphabet Welcome

The Hello Train

Oh, the hello train is coming just for you

Parent Tip
Spatial reasoning connects math to the physical world.  Your child is beginning to build spatial relationship vocabulary with words like: through, over, below, around.  Use a toy train or car or even a block to act out the trains in the book as they go through the tunnel, over the river, and around a mountain.  Physically moving an object helps children comprehend these spatial relationships.

Song

The Wheels on the Train

The wheels on the train go clickety-clack
Clickety-clack
Clickety-clack
The wheels on the train go clickety-clack
All down the track!

The whistle on the train goes "toot, toot, toot!"

The engine on the train goes "chug, chug, chug"

The Goodbye Train

Oh, the goodbye train is leaving, see you soon
The goodbye train is leaving, see you soon
The goodbye train is leaving
The goodbye train is leaving
The goodbye train is leaving, see you soon!
