how did he/she like the song? And would they like to sing it again?

it says place on the card
5. While the children are playing I would ask them open-ended questions

I like trucks
I always will
Big or small I like them still
I like trucks
I always will
I like trucks
A fire truck is shiny red
With a ladder oh so long
The milk truck comes before I wake
With milk to make me strong
A garbage truck
A pickup truck
They're all so big and tough
Oh and when I see them
I can't seem to get enough
Cause
I like trucks
I always will
Big or small I like them still
I like trucks
I always will
I like trucks
