Old and new vehicles have always had interesting stories to tell about how transport systems in our cities and countries have changed…

The Roundel & Tube Signs Project

• 📌 Young Learners: Children 

Are your students familiar with the roundel, the symbol of London’s public transport? If they could change it, what would they do? Download some great activity sheets from the London Transport Museum and motivate your young students to learn more about one of the most recognised and imitated logos in the world! 

You can also help your little students to draw their own tube signs, inspired by old signs at the London Transport Museum. 

*Tip: Motivate your students to work in pairs or small groups. That’s a great way to help them master the skills of collaboration and creativity, while strengthening the bonds with their classmates.

Being Creative

• 📌 Young Learners: Children 

Are you interested in the history of the British transport industry? Coventry Transport Museum’s current collection of vehicles is acknowledged as being one of the finest in the world!

Challenge them to make a model car which moves, write about a journey they’ve made and create their own mini museum!
