How to try it
Stand two children inside a large hula hoop, each holding it with both hands at tummy height, with a grown-up at the back as the driver. Walk slowly around the room singing a bus song, and stop at a \"bus stop\" to let someone choose where to go next.
Materials
- Large hula hoop
Safety note
Keep the hoop below the children's chests, walk slowly on a clear, flat floor away from stairs, and let go of the hoop straight away if a child trips.
