Dustin and
I entered the Story Room dressed as lumberjacks and singing “Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho, it’s home from work we go.”
Begin by
singing Raffi’s “Shake My Sillies Out” (w/ lumberjack moves).
Book – Big Bear Hug by Nicholas
Oldland.
Song – “The Bears on the Bus.” (We used bear puppets to help with this
song.)
The bears on the bus go roar, roar, roar,
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar, roar.
The bears on the bus go roar, roar, roar,
All through the town.
* * * * *
The bears on the bus take a nap . . .
The
bears on the bus eat some honey . . .
The bears on the bus hide from bees . . .
The
bears on the bus claw the chairs . . .
The people on the bus go ahhh, ahhh, ahhh!
Book – Bear in Underwear by Todd
H. Doodler. (We used a bear puppet and
an
assortment of underpants, along with the actual book.)
Activity/Story – We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
by Michael Rosen & Helen
Oxenbury. (We had the kids do the actions with us in
place of reading the book.)
Book – The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe
Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear
by
Don & Audrey Wood.
Song – “Five Bears in the Bed.” (I have
a bed prop which can be used along
with
the song.)
Five bears in the bed
and the little one said,
“Roll over, I’m crowded.”
So they all rolled over, and one fell out.
Four bears in the bed, and the little one said,
“Roll over, I’m crowded.”
So they all rolled over and one fell out.
Three bears in the bed, and the little one said,
“Roll over, I’m crowded.”
So they all rolled over and one fell out.
Two bears in the bed, and the little one said,
“Roll over, I’m crowded.”
So they all rolled over and one fell out.
One bear in the bed, and the little one said,
“I’m lonely, come back.”
“Roll over, I’m crowded.”
So they all rolled over, and one fell out.

and
then had them do the actions to the song, “Teddy Bear Teddy Bear,” from the
compact disc, Songs from The Cozy Cottage.
