Listen together Read aloud by Amy · 21 seconds

Round and round the little train,

Past the hills and through the rain.

One, two, three, the carriages roll,

Four and five to reach the goal.

Toot, toot, toot, it comes back near,

Round again, the train is here!

Talk about it together

How many carriages can you count?

Tip: read it again tomorrow. Children often enjoy saying the last word of each line once the poem feels familiar.
