How to use this song with your child

  1. 1

    Make “le bus” the word of the day

    This song repeats “le bus” (bus) on 8 lines. Use it once or twice during the day outside the song, and let your child correct you if you get it wrong.

  2. 2

    Split the parts

    Once the song is familiar, you sing the English lines and your child sings the French ones, then swap. It turns listening into speaking.

  3. 3

    Make it a routine

    At 2:30, play it once a day at the same moment for a week. Build a little town with blocks and visit each place the song names.
