Rhymes/Fingerplays/Songs:

The Wheels On the Bus:

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.

Repeat with:

The doors on the bus go open and shut

The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish

The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep

The people on the bus go up and down

Five Little Seashells:

Five little seashells lying on the shore,

Swish went the waves and then there were four.

Four little seashells as cozy as could be,

Swish went the waves and then there were three.

Three little seashells all shiny and new,

Swish went the waves and then there were two.

Two little seashells lying in the sun,

Swish went the waves and then there was one.

One little seashell, left all alone,

I whispered, "Shhh" as I took it home!

Little Pilot Dwayne, 

Are you behind the  red  airplane?
