| Song: "Traffic Light" | |
| (sing to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star Hear the tune at http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/games/songs/childrens/twinklemp3.htm ) |
|
| Twinkle, twinkle, traffic light, | Form circle shape with hands |
| Shining on the corner bright, | |
| "Stop!" shines red, | Hold hands out in ‘stop’ motion |
| "Go!" is green, | Walk in place |
| "Slow-down!" yellow’s in between | Walk slowly to a stop |
| Twinkle, twinkle, traffic light, | Form circle shape with hands |
| Shining on the corner bright, | |

| Song: "Down by the Station" | |
| (Hear the tune at http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/games/songs/childrens/stationmp3.htm ) | |
| Down by the station, | |
| Early in the morning, | |
| See the little pufferbellies, | |
| All in a row. | |
| See the station master, | Wave hello! |
| Turn the little handle, | Turn the handle |
| Puff, puff, toot, toot, | Pull the train whistle cord up and down |
| Off we go! | Wave goodbye! |
