Printable Transportation Dominoes

There is nothing better for memorizing vocabulary than a game. I love using printable games when teaching English to preschoolers and elementary school kids as playing is a natural way to learn things for young children. I try to design games for for every topic I teach. Dominoes are one of my favorite games. So today I’d like to share my printable domino cards I use to help kids memorize the transportation vocabulary.

The kit includes 4 types of worksheets, flashcards, dominoes game and bingo game

The dominoes feature the same pictures I used to design the transportation flashcards. The cards look colorful enough to draw kids’ attention and involve them in the game that helps students consolidate the transportation vocabulary.


The transportation dominoes belong to my printable ESL transportation kit that comprises worksheets, flashcards and a bingo game. Educators are welcome to either download these pritables from my blog or purchase the premium version in high resolution printer-ready PDF documents that includes both American and British English variations of some worksheets.

Transportation Worksheets: Word Search

Word search worksheets are great for training children’s brains for faster word recognition and memorization. They also help kids learn spelling of key words they need to know for the future English fluency. Such worksheets are also fun because they may involve an exciting competition in the classroom as every kid is trying to be the first to find the hidden words. I design word search worksheets for each topic I teach and my students love such activities.This blog post offers printable word search worksheets for the transportation topic.

The kit includes 4 types of worksheets, flashcards, dominoes game and bingo game

These word search worksheets belong to the larger set of printable ESL materials I designed to introduce the transportation vocabulary. The set includes four types of worksheets, flashcards and two games (bingo and dominoes). The set includes printables that feature both American English and British English variations of certain words related to means of transportation.

Transportation Worksheets: Crossword Puzzles

Crossword puzzles are another kind of worksheets I love. They are very effective for vocabulary memorization as they involve writing words with pen or pencil. Every language teacher knows than handwriting helps boost memory and the ability to retain the vocabulary. When solving a crossword puzzle, a student recalls the previously introduced vocabulary, re-processes it into words by writing them down, and re-reads those words multiple times in the course of accomplishing the task. So much brain activity involved! This kind of tasks are great for teaching kids to write and spell words. And, of course, I designed a couple of crossword worksheets for the transportation topic.

The kit includes 4 types of worksheets, flashcards, dominoes game and bingo game

As usual, I only publish the worksheets featuring American English words. There are also transportation crossword worksheets offering British English variations of some words. Those are available in my premium transportation kit that English teachers can buy here.

China has become one of the most popular destinations for English teachers looking for job opportunities abroad. Being a fast developing economy, China badly needs as many citizens who can speak decent English as possible. English is today’s lingua franca spoken by people from all over the world to establish trade relationships. As a leading economy, China has to be serious about all things that propel the country’s trade including, of course, English fluency of Chinese people. That’s why they eagerly invite educators from English speaking countries to China.
