Crooked Tracks
Draw a crooked line on the floor with chalk. It's "train tracks ". The object of the players is to walk along the "train tracks " looking at it through binoculars turned upside down. The player who walks the "train track" the fastest is the winner.

Pass the Train Whistle Game

one person to the next. Someone calls time or stops the music and the person left holding the Train Whistle is out. Continue until there is only one person left.

All Aboard for the party! Ride the rails with activities such as a Loose Caboose Tag Game, Making a Construction Paper Engine, and Pin the Caboose on the Train.
