Play Cars
Using duct tape or wide masking tape make road ways on the floor, cement patio or driveway.  Make steering wheels using paper plate. Make a stop sign..and let the kids take turns holding up a stop sign at the cross road.
You could also use streamers and make them on the grass in the back yard (use rocks to hold the streamers in place on the ground).

Let's Roll
Attach a 6-8' length of PVC pipe to the wall or along a fence, at a slight angle.  The kids can have fun running the cars thru the pipe. 

Things That Go Collage
Look through magazines or catalogs to find pictures of things that go on land, things that go in water, things that go in the air. Make a big poster of each group.

Make drivers licenses for the kids.  Draw or glue a picture the child to the license.
 
 

My Little Red Wagon (makes a cute felt story or finger play)
  (tune on Raffi's Singable Songs for the Very Young cassette)
   All sit in a circle, legs stretched in toward center.  Bounce up and down on bottoms. 

Bumping up and down in my little red wagon.
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon.
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon.
Won't you be my darlin!

One wheel's off and the axle's broken...
Freddie's gonna fix it with his hammer...
Laura's gonna fix it it with her pliers...
Bumping up an down in my little red wagon...

You can change names to suit; and add different tools so that each child is mentioned in the song.

Ring around the rocket ship,
Reach for a star,
Stardust, stardust,
Fall where you are.

The Airplane
The airplane has great big wings (arms outstretched)
Its propeller spins around and sings, (make one arm go around)
"Vvvvvvvvvv!"
The airplane goes up; (lift arms)
The airplane goes down; (lower arms)
The airplane flies high
All over our town!  (arms outstretched, turn body around)

Flying-Man, Flying-Man (Nursery Rhyme)
Flying-man, Flying-man,
Up in the sky,
Where are you going to,
Flying so high?
Over the mountains
And over the sea,
Flying-man, Flying-man,
Can't you take me?

My Bicycle
One wheel, two wheels on the ground; (revolve hand in forward circle to form each wheel)
My feet make the pedals go round and round.  (move feet in pedaling motion)
Handle bars help me steer so straight, (pretend to steer)
Down the sidewalk, through the gate.

Riding
   Suit actions to words.
Riding in a train I go,
Rocking, rocking, to and fro,
Side to side and to and fro,
Riding in a train I go.

In an airplane I fly,
Up, up, up, into the sky,
Up, up, up, so very high,
In an airplane I fly.

Riding on my bike today,
Pedal, pedal, all the way,
Pedal fast and pedal slow,
Riding on my bike I go.

Helping Mommy Drive (or Daddy, Grandpa or Grandma or ......)

If the road is clear we may pass.

Here Is A Car
Here is a car, shiny and bright. (cup one hand and place on other palm)

To the sky! (go up on tiptoe running forward)
