Old McRainbow's Wheels on the bus

  

I'm revisiting my schoolbus sets with my Old McRainbow rhyme.  I had forgotten that I made this up a couple of years ago.  This is an interactive rhyme.  I hand out the colored wheels to the kiddos. There's enough for 20 kids.  As I say the rhyme I put up a colored bus and the kiddos bring up the matching wheels.  They love doing this activity. There are so many learning skills involved in this game.  They have to stay engaged to wait for their turn.  They need to know that wheels go at the bottom of the bus shape. They see that each bus has 2 wheels. Plus they enjoy the chance to get up and move and the felt just feels good too!  Old McRainbow and his colorful buses are so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!

Wheels on the Bus several ways.

I recently made a set of 10 colorful buses for a fun activity/song for The Wheels on the Bus.  My grandson loves to watch videos of this song and we saw a really cute one that I wanted to make for Storytime.  So I found a Google image that I deconstructed for my pattern.  I first made a bus with the little children riding in it. I have a diecut for the paint splashes and children. Then I made 10 colorful buses that can be counted or used with the kiddos.  This can be a match the wheels to the color bus or match the wheels to the color splash or count the color buses activity.  I'm super happy with how it turned out. 

Singing and playing the Wheels on the Bus at Storytime is so much Fun with Friends at Storytime!
