The Wheels on the Bus
Have you ever seen your child using an object to represent something? For example, holding a banana to his/her ear and pretending to talk on the phone? Or perhaps you have seen your child use rocks and sticks as ingredients to making a soup. Pretend play or imaginative play is great for teaching a plethora of concepts such as turn taking and negotiating, language skills and problem solving to name a few. In today’s activity, we will imagine that we are driving a bus to the popular children’s song- “The Wheels on the Bus.” All you need is a paper plate to symbolize a steering wheel and if you have chair nearby, why not use it to represent a driver’s seat.
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round
Round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
All through the town
The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish
Swish, swish, swish
Swish, swish, swish
The wipers on the bus go Swish, swish, swish
All through the town
The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep
The horn on the bus goes Beep, beep, beep
All through the town
The doors on the bus go open and shut
Open and shut
Open and shut
The doors on the bus go open and shut
All through the town
The Driver on the bus says "Move on back
Move on back, move on back"
The Driver on the bus says "Move on back"
All through the town
The babies on the bus says "Wah, wah, wah
Wah, wah, wah
Wah, wah, wah"
