| ASL Song | This is a Choo Choo Train This is a choo-choo train, (bend arms at elbows) Puffing down the track. ( rotate forearms in rhythm) Now it’s going forward, (push arms forward) Now it’s going back. (pull arms back) Now the bell is ringing, (pull bell cord with closed fist) Now the whistle blows. (hold fist near mouth and blow) What a lot of noise it makes, (cover ears with hands) Everywhere it goes! (stretch out arms). Source: King County Library System |

Craft: I provided large construction sheets and a worksheet with train signs and a train. The goal was for the kids to create their own train tracks and move the train on it while learning what the different signs mean.
