IMG_0275_edited_edited_edited.jpg

Goin' on a bear hunt
(Echo each line through entire story and slap thighs)
I'm not afraid
It's a beautiful day
The sun is shining
The birds are singing
The bees are buzzing
What's that?

Tall grass
(Sweeping arm motions making swishing sounds)

Going on a bear hunt
I'm not afraid
What's that?

It's a tall tree
(Arm motions climbing up then climbing back down)

Going on a bear hunt
I'm not afraid
What's that?

Oh it's mud
Better put on your boots
(March through the mud making sloshing mud noises)

Going on a bear hunt
I'm not afraid
What's that?

It's a river
We're going to have to swim
(Swim across river)

Going on a bear hunt
I'm not afraid
What's that?

Oh it's a dark cave
(Put fingers and hands in binocular circles around eyes)
i can't see anything
I can feel something
I can hear something
We better take out our flashlights
(Take out flashlight and flick it on)

Oh it's a bear…RUN
(Very dramatically and loud)

Repeat the sequence in reverse quickly and dramatically slapping thighs and doing
actions for each verse
