Keep the bus/car tidy
Say thank you to people who help you
Keep the Bus/Car Tidy
When we go on the bus or in a car, it is important that we make a good effort to keep it tidy. Think about the things that you bring with you to school. What about your…
Shoes - are they dirty or clean?
Food - should you eat on the bus/in the car?
Drinks - should you drink on the bus/in the car?
Clothing/bags - where should they go while you are being driven somewhere?
Now chat with a buddy or in a small group about the list of things that you bring, and why it might be important to keep them to yourself. Think about…
What might happen if the bus or car has to suddenly stop?
What might happen if you drop something?
How can you keep all of your belongings together so that nothing gets lost?
What might happen if you spill something?
If you have time, make a poster that you could display on a bus or in a car to remind people how they can act to keep things tidy!
Say Thank You to People Who Help You
Think about all the things that you might do in a day to help people. You might…
Hold the door open
Pass someone something
Help someone with their work
Show someone the way if they get lost
Do a quick job for an adult
Now think of all the times you might need help too. Do you always say thank you? Watch the video and see if you can guess how many people say thank you.
How would you feel if you had been one of the kids in the video? When we’re on trips, it’s really important to say thank you to the people who are helping. They might be…
The bus or car driver
Your teacher who has organised the trip
Adults or parents who might have come along to help
People who work at the trip location, perhaps zoo keepers or instructors for ice skating or skiing.
If you say thank you to the people who help you, they will be happy and so will others around you.
If you have time, make a card for someone who might have helped you on a trip before, or just to someone else who might have helped you with something this week!
