Thanks Melissa for shar­ing your train tem­plates! Trans­porta­tion sto­ries are always such a hit. It’s nice to have lots of fun flan­nels to use with them.

Melissa made it with Click­ety Clack in mind:

Click­ety Clack

Clickety-one, clickety-one,
Here comes ENGINE num­ber one.

Clickety-two, clickety-two,
Here comes BOX CAR num­ber two.

Clickety-three, clickety-three,
Here comes PASSENGER CAR num­ber three.

Clickety-four, clickety-four,
Here comes COAL CAR num­ber four.

Clickety-five, clickety-five,
Here comes TANK CAR num­ber five.

Clickety-clck, clickety-clack,
Here comes the CABOOSE!

The train has gone on down the track,
Puff­ing ’cause it’s going fast.
Wave good-bye ’cause it’s all past.

Here are a cou­ple of other train rhyme suggestions.

Here is the Engine
Here is the engine on the track;
Here is the coal car, just in back;
Here is the box­car to carry freight;
Here is the mail car.  Don’t be late!
Way back here at the end of the train
Rides the caboose through the sun and rain.

This Lit­tle Train (Tune: This Old Man)
This lit­tle engine, it is green, it goes chug­ging full of steam.
With a chug chug, toot toot
Hear the whis­tle blow
This lit­tle train goes chug­ging home.

This lit­tle car, it is blue, it goes chug­ging right by you.
With a chug chug, toot toot
Hear the whis­tle blow
This lit­tle train goes chug­ging home.

This lit­tle car, it is black, it goes chug­ging down the track.
With a chug chug, toot toot
Hear the whis­tle blow
This lit­tle train goes chug­ging home.

This lit­tle car, it is red, it goes chug­ging off to bed.
With a chug chug, toot toot
Hear the whis­tle blow
This lit­tle train goes chug­ging home.
