We're Going on a Bear Hunt
*=repeat
We're going on a bear hunt!*
we're gonna catch a big one!*
I'm not afraid!*
Are you? Not me!*
We're going thru the tall grass.*
We're going thru the short grass.*
We're going on a bear hunt!*
we're gonna catch a big one!*
I'm not afraid!*
Are you? Not me!*
Oh, no!*
It's a big puddle of mud.*
Can't go around it.*
Gotta go right thru it.*
Squish. Sqwash. Splash. Eeeeew!!*
We're going on a bear hunt!*
we're gonna catch a big one!*
I'm not afraid!*
Are you? Not me!*
We're coming to a river.*
No bridge going over.*
No tunnel going under.*
It's just plain old water.*
And we're gonn have to swim.*
(Paddle as if swimming then shake self-off.)
We're going on a bear hunt!*
we're gonna catch a big one!*
I'm not afraid!*
Are you? Not me!*
Shhh, it's a cave.*
Looks like a BEAR cave.*
Should we go in there?8
What if there's a bear?*
Let's go together.*
We're going on a bear hunt!*
we're gonna catch a big one!*
I'm not afraid!*
Are you? Not me!*
Oooo. It's dark in here.*
Yuck! There's a spider's web.*
Wait, can you feel that?*
Something soft and fuzzy.*
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!*
RUN!! It's a bear!*
Out the cave.*
Swim thru the river.*
Splash thru mud.
Sprint thru the short grass.*
Dart thru the tall grass.*
Safe at home at last.*
Whew!!*
I'm not afraid.*
Are you?*
Ten Little Bears
(Flannel Board Story)
Ten little teddy bears sleeping in the bed,
Five at the foot and five at the head.
One little teddy said, "This bed is Too full!"
So he grabbed the blanket and started to pull.
He pulled and he pulled and he pulled some more,
Until two little teddies went BOOM on the floor!
(Make pulling motions with PULL and clap with the BOOM.)
(Count down until...)
One little teddy bear sleeping in the bed,
Zero at the foot and one at the head.
This little teddy said, "This is not right!
I don't want to sleep alone tonight!"
So...
One little teddy bear sleeping in the bed,
Zero at the foot and one at the head.
This little teddy said, "This bed is NOT full!"
So he pulled out his paw and he started to pull.
He pulled and he pulled and he pulled some more,
Until four little teddies climbed up from the floor!
(Count up until...)
Ten little teddy bears sleeping in the bed,
Five at the foot and five at the head.
One little teddy said, "This is JUST right!"
So ten little teddy bears said, "Good Night!"
