Tell the children that they are all going to drive/ride their favourite type of transport that moves on the ground on an adventure down the highway. Explain that when the music stops it means there’s a red light and everyone must freeze and when the music starts it means there’s a green light and everyone must drive/ride (as in musical statues).
