Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Recall school bus safety rules and expected behaviors from a written or spoken prompt.

  • Match a called or written bus rule to the correct square on the bingo card.

  • Practice following game rules and taking turns as part of a structured group activity.

Teaching tips

  • Run this on the first day or during transportation-safety week, before students need to apply the rules on an actual bus ride.

  • Print, laminate and cut the calling cards and chips ahead of time so the set is reusable for a mid-year refresher, as the how-to guide suggests.

  • Once the class knows the routine, let students take turns as caller so they get practice stating the rules themselves, per the guide's tip.

Skills covered

  • Bus-safety rule recall — students match a called or written bus rule to the correct square on their card.

  • Turn-taking and rule-following — students play by the horizontal, vertical and diagonal win conditions explained in the how-to guide.

  • Peer-led practice — students can serve as the caller themselves, practicing stating bus rules aloud to classmates.
