Wheels on the bus

Wheels on the bus – action song

The wheels on the bus go ‘round and ‘round

‘Round and ‘round, ‘round and ‘round

The wheels on the bus go ‘round and ‘round

All over town.

[circle hands]

The doors on the bus go open and shut…

[move hands apart and together]

The people on the bus step out and in…

[step forward & back]

The driver on the bus says “move on back”…

[wave towards you]

The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish…

[imitate wipers]

The riders on the bus go bumpity bump…

[bounce]

The babies on the bus cry “waa waa waa”…

[rub eyes]

The mothers on the bus say “shh shh shh”

(or “I love you”)

[fingers to lips]

What a lot of noise it makes [hands over ears]
Everywhere it goes!

And we’ll all have chicken and dumplings when she comes…

Riding in my car

Riding in My Car – song (Woody Guthrie)

Turn my key, start my starter

Take you riding in my car.

The engine it goes brrm brrm [x3]

Take you riding in my car

My little tricycle

My little tricycle has wheels so fine [make large 0 shape]
One in the front [1 finger]
And two behind [point over both shoulders]

I pedal so fast [“pedal” hands]
I’m soon out of sight. [looking far away, hand shading eyes]

Great big truck

Went rolling down the street, went rolling down the street
The great big truck went rolling down the street
When suddenly its tire went

Hi dee ho, and hi dee heigh [sink slowly to floor]
The great big truck is slowing down
Hi dee ho and hi dee heigh
The great big truck just… can’t…go…on….

Then comes along the tire fixer… [pretend to “fix” baby]
And then….

The great big truck went rolling down the street…[roll hands]
Went rolling down the street, went rolling down the street
The great big truck went rolling down the street
Carrying a great big load!




Flying man

Flying Man (or "girl"!) - lap bounce

Flying man, flying man
Up in the sky
Where are you going to
flying so high?
Over the mountains
Over the sea
Flying man, flying man
Wait for me!

Hurry hurry climb the ladder…

Hurry hurry squirt the hoses…

Slowly slowly, back to the fire house..

Bicycle built for two

Bicycle Built for Two – traditional song

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do

I’m half crazy, all for the love of you

It won’t be a fancy marriage,

I can’t afford a carriage

But you’ll look sweet, upon the seat

Of a bicycle built for two
