Teach bus safety once—and prevent daily behavior problems all year long. Bus safety made simple for preschool and Pre-K. Clear visual rules help children ride safely, follow expectations, and stay calm.

Transitions don’t stop at the classroom door—and neither should behavior support. This Bus Safety Rules & Routines resource gives young children clear, visual expectations for riding the bus safely and respectfully.

Designed specifically for preschool and Pre-K learners, these visuals reduce confusion, improve listening, and support positive behavior during one of the most high-risk, high-stress parts of the day.

This is also included in the Visual Routines Bundle!
