Create pictures that can be used to illustrate the sections of the song. Ask one child to draw a horn and another a wheel. Then as the kids sing the various verses of the song, each child can hold up the appropriate drawing and make the noise that goes along with the picture. Have the children swap drawings and sing again with their new picture.
