Wheels on the Bus

Overview:
Turn Wheels on the Bus and get your students moving, singing, and smiling! Teachers can take a children's song that you've probably heard many times and turn it into their own enjoyable and educational lesson in transportation, rhythm, and community helpers. Students will sing along, act out motions, and explore how buses help people travel every day. Playful play uses music, movement, and hands-on crafts to develop language, coordination, and creativity. They will realize at the end of the lesson that learning can roll right along—just like the wheels on the bus!
