February's Fingerplay of the Month
This month's fingerplay introduces little ones to the ideas of how transportation and social interaction work. As kids do the hand motions of how wipers work and mimic mom's quieting loud children, they will begin to understand the inner workings of the bus as well as how people act in public. The other great thing about this fingerplay is it's easy to make up your own lines for added fun and family lessons.
The Wheels on the Bus (Follow-along Video Plus Script)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 through the town.

The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
swish, swish, swish,
swish, swish, swish.

All through the town.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep
beep, beep, beep,
beep, beep, beep.
