"The Little Engine That Could" by Watty Piper
Everyone loves The Little Engine That Could, that
classic tale of the determined little engine that,
despite its size, triumphantly pulls a train full of toys
to the waiting children on the other side of a
mountain.

"Two Little Trains" by Margaret Wise Brown
Puff, Puff, Puff! Chug, Chug, Chug! Two little trains
are heading West. One is a shiny, streamlined train,
moving fast. The other is a little old train, moving not
so fast. Both will travel through long dark tunnels,
through snow and dust. What else can they have in
common? Much more than you think!

Talk About Trains!
Show the children some nice large photos
of trains. Take some time to discuss these
with the children. Which one(s) do they
like best? Have any of them taken a train
ride? How did the train sound? Feel?

| Read: "Two Little Trains" by Margaret Wise Brown. Show the children the photo of the railroad crossing sign again. Have they ever thought about where the trains are going? Ask the children to think about some of the things the trains might "see" when travelling from one place to the next. |
Music & Movement:
First, hand out sandpaper blocks, triangles, and bells
to the children. Then try to simulate the sound of a
train by combining the sounds of the instruments.
Next, help the children line up in a long, single-file
line with their hands resting gently on the next child's
shoulders. Play Gary Lapow's "Choo Choo Train"
song from his "I Like Noodles" CD, and dance your
"train" around the room!

Snack Time: X Marks the Spot Crackers!
Make these with round crackers and "squeeze"
cheese. Help the children make X's on crackers using
squeezable cheese to resemble both the railroad
crossing signs and an X.

Dramatic Play Trains
Set up a large area with plenty of wooden trains and
tracks, blocks for buildings, plastic rocks and trees,
etc. and let the children's imaginations run free!

Problem Solving
Create a simple "map" of the room with an
"x-marks-the-spot" ending where a little train engine is
hiding. Make the children follow the directions on the
map, such as a trail leading "through a tunnel" (which
might be down a hallway,) "over the rugged mountains"
(which might be over a pile of pillows,) and "around the
foul-smelling caves (which might be past the restrooms.)
Make the map simple enough for your children to
understand, and let them work cooperatively in groups
to find the little lost engine

Train Shapes
Use tangram pieces or other geometric shapes and
encourage the children to create train shapes with
them. Can the children make an engine? A boxcar?
How about a long train with many cars?

Ask the children whether they've ever felt like they were not
strong enough, or big enough, to do something hard.
Explain that sometimes, we have to wait until we're bigger
to do some things, like drive a car or mow the lawn. But
for those things that we need to do, and are afraid we can't
do, like play an instrument in a recital, or learn how to ride
a bike, Jesus will help us be strong enough and brave
enough to do them!

| Making Tracks Set up the easels and break out the paint shirts and let your little railroad tycoons "build" tracks to their homes. Let the children try dipping train cars or other toys with wheels into paint, then run them over their papers to make tracks. Encourage the children to think about the things they go past on their way home, and paint "tracks" past those landmarks. Make sure they include an "X" at the end to indicate their home. For example, the children might paint flowers beside one part of their track and a lake by another, or may just end up with a spiral of tracks ending in an "X." Let them decide how to create their maps, and have fun! |
