Activity Ideas:
Lot's of Bears are Hibernating
(Sung to: "Mary Had a Little Lamb")
Lots of bears are hibernating,
Hibernating, hibernating,
Lots of bears are hibernating, sleeping in their dens.

Winter's Coming!
(Sung to: "Frere Jacques")
Winter's coming. Winter's coming.
It is dark. It is cold.
I am bundled snug and warm.
Animals sleep safe from harm.
Sleds and snow.
Cold winds blow.

Where is Bear?
(Sung to: "Where Is Thumbkin.")
Where is bear? (substitute any hibernating animal)
Where is bear?
Here I am.
Here I am.
How are you this winter?
Very tired, thank you.
Go to sleep.
Go to sleep.

Bear Is Sleeping
(Sung to: "Frere Jacques")
Bear is sleeping. Bear is sleeping.
Let it snow! Let it snow!
Sleeping all the winter, sleeping all the winter.
Snug and warm, snug and warm.
(substitute resting, napping, snoring.)

Five Little Bears
Five little bears little bears were dancing on the floor
One fell down and that left four
Four little bears climbed up a tree
One found a bee hive that left three
Three little bears were wondering what to do
One chased a bunny rabbit that left two
Two little bears were looking for some fun
One took a swim that left one
One little bear sitting all alone
He looked all around and then ran home.

Waking
(Sung to: "Twinkle, twinkle little star")
Grizzly, polar and black bear,
Growing thicker winter hair,
Curled up snugly winter through,
'Til the spring comes calling you.
Then you come out of your den,
To see the world's all new again.

Getting Ready
(Sung to: "Mulberry Bush")
The bears are fattening in the fall,
In the fall, in the fall,
The bears are fattening in the fall,
Before their winter sleep.

They're eating berries from the bush,
From the bush, from the bush,
They're eating berries from the bush,
Before their winter sleep.

Add other verses:
They're catching salmon from the brook...
They're digging roots up from the ground...
They're stealing honey from the bees...

YOU ONLY GET TO KEEP WHAT YOU
GIVE AWAY

you get. You must plant your seeds before
you reap the harvest. The more you sow,
the more you will reap. In giving to others,
you will find yourself blessed. The law
works to give you back more then you have
sown. Those that obtain have little. Those
who scatter have much. The giver's harvest
is always full. Nature does not give to those
who will not spend. This is the time of year
to show appreciation to those you love.
