The Wheels On
The Bus (Sing It) Lyrics and Actions
[Everybody stands in big circle. As the bus noises fade in and the music
starts, begin moving around the room pretending to drive the bus. You may want
to give all of the students some props to act as steering wheels. Tambourines
work great! Everyone stops and faces into the circle.]
♫ The wheels on the bus go round and round. [Move your hands and arms round and round in
a circle.]
Round and round. Round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round. Round and round.
[Between each verse, pretend to drive a bus and honk the horn.]
The door on the bus goes open and shut. [Open your hands on
"open" and clap them together on "shut."]
Open and shut. Open and shut.
The door on the bus goes open and shut. Open and shut.
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish. [Mimic the motion of windshield
wipers with your hands and arms.]
Swish swish swish. Swish swish swish.
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish. Swish swish swish.
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep. [Pretend to honk the horn on the
steering wheel of a bus.]
Beep beep beep. Beep beep beep.
The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep. Beep beep beep.
The people on the bus go up and down. [Stretch up and then squat down.]
Up and down. Up and down.
The people on the bus go up and down. Up and down.
The babies on the bus go wah wah wah. [Place your hands next to your eyes
and pretend to cry.]
Wah wah wah. Wah wah wah.
The babies on the bus go wah wah wah. Wah wah wah.
The mommies on the bus go, "Shhh shhh shhh." [Place your finger
in front of your mouth as you make the shhh sounds. You can also pretend to
cradle a baby in one arm.]
"Shhh shhh shhh. Shhh shhh shhh."
The mommies on the bus go, "Shhh shhh shhh. Shhh shhh shhh." ♫
