Learn about how ice cream vans work, where they go, and how they sell ice cream to kids.
Okay, let’s break it down!
Imagine a big van that you can see driving around the neighborhood. This van is very special because it sells ice cream! Now, think about where kids like to play or go after school—like near their homes or at schools. These places are called residential areas and schools.
When the ice cream van drives by, it makes stops where there are lots of children who want to buy ice cream. The person inside the van opens a little window, which is called a sliding window, to let kids see all the yummy ice cream flavors they can choose from.
So, when you hear the bell or music from the ice cream van, it means they are nearby and ready to sell everyone some delicious treats!
