  2. Build Your Own Bus: Use craft materials like cardboard boxes, paper plates, and markers to create your own model bus.

  3. Bus Sound Adventure: Close your eyes and imagine you’re on a bus ride. What sounds do you hear? Maybe the engine, the wheels turning, or the wipers swishing. Try to make these sounds using your voice or with objects around you. Can you create a fun bus journey story using these sounds?
