The transport explorer is an interactive game that teaches children about different kinds of transport. At first you can choose to look at the images of the vehicles, then you get to play the game. This is when you get to click on which kind of transport you want to learn about. It goes through the steps of how it works then quizzes you on what each part is names and then takes the same words and has you put them in sentences. After you are done with the game, there are ready made worksheets if you wish to use them. But I really think the game does a wonderful job in helping you learn the different parts names and how it all works.
I would use this interactive game while the class is learning about different times periods. I would do it this way, because it teaches you about the car and shows you pictures of cars from the twenties. It also teaches you about the bicycle, train, and boat. Most teachers don’t really take time in social studies to stop and see how a car works. But with this game, you wont have to, because the student can do the game at home and report back the next day of what they thought of it and what they learned. I plan on using this game in my future classroom.
When playing the game, after you have open click on the link below, click the green box when you are ready to play.
