No prior knowledge needed, just your curiosity and excitement!

Talking Points

• Trucks are big vehicles that help us move things from one place to another.

"Trucks are like big helpers that carry things around for us."

• There are different types of trucks like dump trucks, fire trucks, and tow trucks.

"Dump trucks carry rocks and dirt, fire trucks help put out fires, and tow trucks help move cars that are stuck."

• Trucks make different sounds to let us know they are coming.

"When you hear a truck coming, it might go beep beep or wee-oo-wee-oo to warn us."

• We can use our imagination to create our own trucks with special designs.

"Let's use our creativity to make a truck that can do anything we want."
