I love this song, it is one of my favourites for children: "The wheels on the bus"
I've prepared a fun activity: while children sing the song, they mime the actions and play with a paper bus with real moving wheels. You can use this template I've created by myself and give one to each student:
They may cut the bus and the wheels and fix each one on its spot using butterfly clips. Moreover, they may draw pictures of their family or friends in the bus windows. It would be a funnier activity!
You can print the bus template here.
Hope you like it! Best regards,
Angela C.
PS: I use an Art App with my tablet to create a lot of templates like this one. Please check this link for more information ("Drawing with Carl")
Hi Angela, I love your activity!
ReplyDeleteI actually knew this song before and my pupils also love it! However, I had never thought of making a template so that all the kids get a real bus to make the wheels go round and round as the song says. It must be fun!
Regarding the lyrics, I think it is an appropriate song for very young pupils, as it is repetitive. As a result, pupils get used to hear words such as wheels, bus, round, up and down, etc.
Thank you for sharing your idea,
