ABSTRACT
Create a vehicle (train, bus, aeroplane, car, lorry, bicycle, rocket or spaceship) in which children can go to various imaginary destinations of their choice. It will comprise the vehicle, numbered or coded seats, doorway, driving seat, steering wheel, controls, engine, windows, mechanics and support services: a ticket controller either in an office or travel agent's, or a conductor on a bus. The children will be able to buy tickets for a chosen destination, get on the vehicle, store their baggage and pretend to travel. There are numerous roles for the children to play within this scenario: drivers, passengers, mechanics or office staff, and they will begin to understand the factors that affect people even if they only go on a short journey. (See Tables 24-28.)
