Ice cream van

Have you ever heard the sound of a jingling bell coming from a big, colorful truck with pictures of ice cream on it? That's an ice cream van!

The ice cream van is a special truck that drives around the streets, parks, and neighborhoods to sell ice cream to people. It's like a little store on wheels!

When the driver stops the van, they open up the side or back and there you can see a lot of different ice cream flavors! There are usually pictures or signs that show what is available.

You might see things like ice cream cones, popsicles, ice cream sandwiches, and maybe even some candy. The driver will tell you the prices, and you can choose what you want to buy.

Just make sure you have some money with you if you want to get some ice cream. The driver will give you the ice cream, and then you can enjoy your tasty treat!

So, that's what an ice cream van is – a truck that sells ice cream and other treats, and it comes around to your neighborhood to give you a sweet surprise!
