Gross Motor/Social/Emotional Development Activities
Numeracy: Sing the nursery rhyme in a group. At the end of each verse stop the bus for some of the children to get off. How many children are left? How many seats are on the bus? How many spaces after each verse? *If you have more than one child at home*
Literacy: Using a toy bus (or other vehicle), fix a crayon or pencil to the front using an elastic band or similar. Then move the vehicle over paper or card to make marks with the pencil or crayon. K3/K4 can attempt to form the letters in their name.
Craft: Create a poster of basic traffic signs. Explain what each sign means.
Play (Indoor/Outdoor): Using large cardboard boxes (could be crates or similar), ask the children to act out driving a bus. *If you can*
Messy play: Wheel art. Using a sheet of paper as a road, add paint at one end of the paper and roll the wheels of a bus (or other vehicle) through the paint and across the paper.
K4 Discussion: Discuss journeys the children have been on. Where were they going and how did they travel there? Who did they go with? Older children can look at bus timetables and plan a route.
