Bear Song-Sung to: "Row, row, row your boat"
Hug, hug, hug your bear
Squeeze him very tight
Hold him high
Help him fly
Then hug with all your might.

Five Little Bears: Counting Down
Five little bears
Heard a loud roar
One ran away
Then there were four!

Four little bears
Climbing up a tree
One slid down
Then there were three!

Three little bears
Deciding what to do
One fell asleep
Then there were two!

Two little bears
Having lots of fun
One went home
Then there was one!
One little bear
Feeling all alone
Ran to his mother
Then there were none!

Going on a Bear Hunt
Going on a bear hunt Gonna catch a big one I'm not afraid (shake head no)
What's that up ahead (shade eyes with hand, look around)
A field:Can't go around it,Can't go under it, Can't go over it
Gotta go through it (rub hands together)
A lake (swimming motion)
A mud puddle (cup hands together, suction sound)
A tree (climbing motion)
A cave (reaching out in the dark)
What's this? I feel something...It has a noseeyesearsfur It's a bear!RUN!!!
Run away, through actions backward
Out of the cave (you can see)
A tree ( climbing motion)
A mud puddle ( suction hands, move fast)
A lake (swimming motion)
A field (rub hands together)
Whew!We're home
I'm not afraid!

Snacks and Cooking:

Mini Teddy Bear Pancakes- Make your favorite pancake batter. Pour a small amount of batter to form a 2" pancake in the pan. Add two small drops of mixture to form ears. Remove cooked pancake to a plate and add features using chocolate chips, banana slices, raisins, etc!
Bear Biscuits-
refrigerated biscuits raisins or chocolate chips
maraschino cherries
honey
cinnamon sugar (optional)
Separate biscuits. Each child needs 2 biscuits. For each bear place one whole biscuit on baking sheet. Cut the other biscuit in half. Now cut one of the halves into 2 pieces and make round balls with the dough and firmly press to top of head to make ears. With the other half, form round or oval shape for the nose. Press in raisins or chips for eyes and nose. Add 1/4 maraschino cherry to each ear. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on to give him the brown look and a cinnamon roll taste. Bake on a cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees until golden brown. Enjoy with honey - a bears favorite treat!!!
