ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten COOL CARS (Amazing Machines) by Tony Mitton & Ant Parker – Read Aloud Story
Hi kids! Today, we’re going to have fun learning about cars with a story called “Cool Cars” by Tony Mitten and Ant Parker. Let’s get started!
Cars are super helpful for getting us from one place to another. They zoom around on busy roads and make a fun “vroom vroom” sound! Cars can be big or small. Look, there’s a tiny car and a big shiny one!
To make a car go, it needs a driver. Drivers have to know about traffic lights, road signs, and markings. They read them quickly and follow what they say.
The steering wheel helps the car turn left or right. Mirrors help drivers see other cars. Drivers use their feet to press pedals on the floor. One pedal stops the car, and another makes it go faster!
Cars need care to stay in good shape. Check the oil, fill the tires with air, and give it fuel. A car wash makes it shiny and clean. The wipers go “swish swish” to clear the window.
Convertibles are fun because their tops can come off for sunny drives. For bumpy roads, a strong four-wheel drive is best. Racing cars are super fast and exciting!
Police cars have flashing lights and sirens to help people. Fancy cars like limousines carry movie stars and queens. Taxis are cars you can hop into for a quick ride!
Lots of people use cars, so sometimes there’s a traffic jam. But when the roads are clear, a drive in the country is delightful!
We’ve packed a yummy picnic for a sunny day. Let’s buckle up our safety belts and go on an adventure!
The windscreen is the front window for seeing the road. The steering wheel is for turning. The engine makes the car move. The handbrake keeps the car still. The wheels roll to move the car. The boot is where we store our bags.
Hope you enjoyed learning about cars! If you did, remember to share the fun with your friends. See you next time!
Car Observation Walk: Take a walk with an adult around your neighborhood or a parking lot. Look at different cars and try to spot the parts you learned about: the wheels, steering wheel, mirrors, and more. Can you find a convertible or a taxi? Count how many different types of cars you see!
Build Your Own Car: Use building blocks or recycled materials like boxes and bottle caps to create your own car model. Think about the parts a car needs to move and steer. Can you make a car with a steering wheel and wheels that roll? Share your creation with your friends or family!
Traffic Light Game: Play a game where you pretend to be cars and someone else is the traffic light. When they say “green,” you can move around the room. When they say “red,” you must stop. Practice listening carefully and following the traffic light’s signals, just like real drivers do!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hi kids! Welcome to Story Time. Today, we’re going to be reading “Cool Cars” by Tony Mitten and Ant Parker. Let’s begin!
Cars are really handy for getting us around. They whiz about on busy roads and make a zoomy sound. Cars can come in many shapes and sizes, large or tiny. Here’s a little mini car and one that’s big and shiny.
A car must have a driver to make it start and go. The roads are full of many things a driver needs to know: traffic lights, road markings, and signs along the way. You have to read them quickly and do what they say.
The steering wheel directs the car and turns it left or right. The mirrors help to keep the other traffic in sight. You use your feet to press the pedals down upon the floor. One stops the car completely, and one makes it speed up.
To keep your car in good condition, give it proper care. Check the oil, top it up, and pump the tires with air. Fill its tank with fuel, then drive it through the wash. The wipers clear the windscreen with a swishy swish.
Convertibles are really great for driving in the sun. The top falls down or comes right off, making the drive more fun. If you’re driving off the road on ground that’s really rough, a sturdy four-wheel drive is best with tires thick and tough.
Some cars are built for racing; they zip along so fast. It’s noisy and exciting as they go roaring past. Police cars have a siren and beacon lights that flash to show they’re chasing criminals or helping at a crash.
Some cars are really fancy, like gleaming limousines. They’re used to carry movie stars, presidents, and queens. But anyone who’s out in town and needs to take a ride can hail a passing taxi cab and quickly jump inside.
Cars are really popular for getting us about, so sometimes there’s a traffic jam and cars just can’t get out. But when the roads are clear and the weather is fine and bright, a journey in the country can fill us with delight.
We’ve packed a yummy picnic; it’s a lovely sunny day. Let’s buckle up our safety belts, and then we’re on our way!
The windscreen is where the front window gives the driver a view of the road ahead. The steering wheel is turned with your hands to direct the car. The engine gives the power that moves the car. The handbrake is an extra safety brake to keep the car still. The wheels roll round to move the car along. The boot is the space for storing baggage.
The end! Hope you enjoyed the story. If you did, don’t forget to click like and subscribe. Thank you! See you again soon. Take care!
