 SONGS/ RHYMES:

 Song:   Wheels on the Bus.

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.

Other possible verses:

The people on the bus go up and down.

The babies on the bus go “wah, wah, wah.”

The mommies on the bus go “I love you!”

The money on the bus goes click, click, click.

The doors on the bus go open and shut.

The driver on the bus says “Move on back!”

The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish.

And you can always make up silly verses like:

The lions on the bus go “roar, roar, roar!”

The birdies on the bus go “tweet, tweet, tweet.”

CRAFT/ PLAY/ EXPLORE:

Craft:  Egg Carton Buses. Cut the lid of a 12-count paper egg carton into four pieces so each piece would have covered three eggs.  Help the kiddos glue two of them together to make a bus.  Let them glue 2-4 toilet paper rolls together to make the wheels and then glue the wheels onto the bus.  Let them paint their buses.  Credit Preschool Curriculum
