This activity does not require supplies.
As an optional activity, we suggest watching videos of construction equipment. Then, discuss what each machine does and identify the "work words" involved.
Each of these made-for-kindergarteners videos introduces a different type of construction equipment.
Bulldozers push piles of dirt and sand.
Cranes lift heavy objects.
Trucks of all kinds carry or pull heavy things from one place to another.
