I’ll Drive the Bus
Gather a group on the rug to sing, “The Wheels on the Bus Go ‘Round and
‘Round,” using body movements for beeping the horn, bouncing up and down,
and so on.
Tell children that they are going to pretend to ride the bus around the center
(or classroom).
Use a length of clothesline or heavy rope for children to hold onto with one
hand and line up one behind the other. (Supervise closely.)
Be sure there is at least an arm’s length distance between each child.
Take turns having one child as the “bus driver” lead the group.
Say to the bus driver, “Let’s go to the water fountain” or “Let’s go to the
kitchen.”
Let the driver slowly lead the group on the rope to the destination.
Change “bus drivers,” and have them lead the group to other familiar places in
the center.
Special Needs Tip
A child in a wheelchair can “drive the bus” by having the adult
hold the front end of the rope to the top of the wheel chair
handle. The child can tell which way to go or point in the direction
that his chair should be rolled.
