- Ground type, in which the vehicle moves only on the ground or rails. An example would be a locomotive or an entire passenger (freight) train or bus.
- Water transport In this case, movement is carried out by water.
- Aviation mode of transport. Representatives of this category travel by air.

- Passenger view. As the name suggests, it is designed to carry passengers.
- Horse-drawn look. Its main purpose is to transport goods. An example is a barge or an ordinary cart.
- Special transport. It is intended to perform any specific tasks. A striking example of this type is a fire truck.
- Agricultural type of vehicle. These are various tractors and combines designed to cultivate land for agricultural purposes.
Assignments for mastering the material
When introducing preschoolers to various types of vehicles, various games are used to help them remember them better. They can be represented by the following options:
- Puzzles. They contribute to the development of logic, thinking, and intelligence.
- Outdoor games. Each child is given a picture depicting some type of transport. There is a house where the corresponding transport base is located. The child’s task is to correctly identify it in relation to the type of vehicle depicted in the picture he received.
- Puzzles. This is, for example, a picture of an airplane cut into pieces. The child finds a picture with the required part and talks about what it is intended for.
The information about transport received by a preschooler will contribute to his further development.
