$33.00

Wheels on the Bus is a playful,  language resource for the early years that builds communication skills around a bus theme.

It is GREAT for language groups or individual sessions. It is available immediately upon payment.

Using the familiar Wheels on the Bus song, it supports early language, listening, turn-taking, sequencing, and key-word signing with Auslan. It then builds on the song using fun activities.

Ideal for speech pathology, early childhood settings, and home practice, the resource includes hands-on activities, visuals, and flexible ideas that make language learning engaging and meaningful.

Wheels on the Bus is a versatile, evidence-informed language resource designed to support early communication, interaction, and listening skills through one of the most familiar and loved children’s songs.

This engaging resource supports:

  • early language development

  • turn taking and joint attention

  • auditory attention and auditory memory

  • understanding and using early concepts (front, back, middle, first, then, too noisy!)

  • key-word signing using Auslan

The resource is ideal for speech pathology sessions, early childhood settings, and home practice, and works beautifully in both group activities and individual sessions.

What’s included:

✔ Song lyrics with visual supports

✔ 19 Auslan signs for key words

✔ 2D and 3D bus construction activities

✔ Picture cards (large and small)

✔ Listening Clip activity (Noisy Bus)

✔ First–Then sequencing grids

✔ Record sheet for tracking progress

There are no strict rules about how to use this resource — it’s designed to be flexible, playful, and responsive to children’s needs. Adults are encouraged to model language, signs, and gestures throughout, helping children learn through participation rather than testing.

This is a rich, hands-on resource that turns a simple song into a powerful language-learning experience.
