Let’s hop on the bus! The wheels on the bus go round and round, all through the town. The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish, all through the town. The people on the bus go chat, chat, chat, all through the town. The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep, all through the town. The babies on the bus go wah, wah, wah, all through the town. The mommies on the bus go shh, shh, shh, all through the town.
And guess what? The wheels on the bus keep going round and round, all through the town!
Once upon a time, the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout. Then, down came the rain and washed the spider out. But don’t worry! Out came the sun and dried up all the rain, and the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again. Hooray!
There were five little babies jumping on the bed. Oh no! One fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more babies jumping on the bed!”
Then there were four little babies jumping on the bed… (And the fun continues until there’s only one little baby left!)
Five little speckled frogs sat on a speckled log, eating some yummy bugs. One jumped into the pool where it was nice and cool. Now there are four green speckled frogs. (And the fun continues until there are no frogs left!)
Let’s meet the Finger Family:
If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands! If you’re happy and you know it, stamp your feet! If you’re happy and you know it, snap your fingers! If you’re happy and you know it, shout hooray!
(And you can keep singing with different fun actions!)
These songs and rhymes are so much fun to sing and play! You can sing them with your friends, family, or even your toys. Enjoy the music and have a great time!
Bus Adventure: Create your own bus journey! Use toy cars or draw a bus on paper. As you sing “The Wheels on the Bus,” act out each part of the song. Make the wheels go round, the wipers swish, and the horn beep. Can you think of other things that might happen on the bus? Maybe the driver says “Hello!” or the doors open and close. Share your ideas with a friend or family member!
Spider Climb Experiment: Let’s help the itsy bitsy spider climb up again! Use a small toy spider or make one from paper. Find a tube or a rolled-up piece of paper to be the “water spout.” Pour a little water down the spout to see how the spider gets washed out. Then, use a hairdryer or place it in the sun to “dry up all the rain.” Watch the spider climb up again! What other ways can you help the spider climb up faster?
Finger Family Puppets: Make your own Finger Family puppets using paper and crayons. Draw and cut out each family member: Daddy, Mommy, Brother, Sister, and Baby. Tape them to your fingers or small sticks. Sing the Finger Family song and make your puppets dance along. Can you create a new verse for a pet finger or a friend finger?
