Lesson Plan: Buses and Trains

October 11, 2015 By Sara Mullett Leave a Comment

A transport theme always go down well as a preschool lesson plan with plenty of movement and all the different sound effects, so this week we are singing about Buses and Trains. It’s a good lesson to practice contrasting tempos and is an absolute hit with all the little train enthusiasts out there!

This lesson plan appeals to a wide age group, from toddlers to 7 year olds and is 10 pages long;  it comes with sheet music, flashcards and a printable game. Check out our Weekly Lesson Plans post for lots of other music lesson plan themes.

The Buses and Trains lesson plan introduces:

  • Contrasting tempos
  • Counting practice
  • Chime bars, Do-Re-Mi and note recognition with resonator bells.
  • Imaginative movement
  • Playing a variety of percussion instruments
  • Tapping the steady beat and recognising the rhythm
  • Singing together and joining in with the actions.

These plans are not intended to read as a script, as everyone will have their own teaching style. More, I hope that they will provide you with in-depth guidance for a number of related activities that I have found in my years of teaching to be particularly effective and engaging combinations.

Here’s some feedback from satisfied customers

“I downloaded the clocks and mice lesson plan and LOVED it. I’d like to start a music program in my classroom based on your lessons. Is there a way to purchase more than one lesson at a time from you? I’d love to buy 30-40 lessons from you to fill up an entire school year if I could!”
“Thanks so much for doing these lessons plans they are great.”
“I am starting my first preschool music class next week and I need your website! :)”
“Your site and your new lesson plans are just amazing!”
