THE WHEELS ON THE BUS - WORDS/LYRICS SMALL SHEETS
‘The Wheels on the Bus’ Nursery Rhyme Individual Handout.
Why not send these home for children to enjoy sharing with their families? Small enough to fit in children’s bags and won’t waste too much printer ink, but will still encourage communication and language development at home.
Children may also enjoy sharing what they have learnt at school/your setting regarding the rhyme, whether it be actions, new key words or letters and sounds or being able to recite the whole rhyme rhythmically. It also may encourage children to share with their families insights into their day e.g. ‘We played a game where our teacher pretended to be a nursery rhyme character and we had to guess which one she was’, or ‘We learnt these actions to go with it!’
Younger children will love to explore the rhythm of this nursery rhyme and join in, especially with the aid of visual stimulus.
Perhaps with older children you might like to highlight the CVC words such as ‘bus’ and ‘long’ to practise blending or identify all of the Phase 2 or 3 sounds or high frequency words?
Want to incorporate music? How about clapping or using percussion instruments to feel the ‘beat’? Have fun!
