It’s song time – get your bus ready, you are going for a drive!
What to do
- Sing ‘The Wheels on the Bus’ to your baby. As you sing the verses, carry out the actions to the song.
- Hold their hands and gently show them how to do some of the actions themselves.
Good to know
Here are the possible actions you could do:
The wheels on the bus go round and round –
Simulate the wheels going around using your arms.
The doors on the bus go open and shut –
Have your baby face you. As you sing, your arms can mimic the action of the doors opening.
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish –
Swish your arms back and forth like they are wipers in this verse.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep –
Touch their nose for each beep.
The people on the bus go up and down –
Stand up and down as you sing the words.
The babies on the bus fall fast asleep –
Place your head in your hands and yawn as you sing.
