Bears Storytime

Preschool Storytime:

Opening: If You Want to Hear a Story

Book: A Bear Sat on my Porch Today









Fingerplay/Flannel: Five Little Bears Jumping on the Bed


Book: Share, Big Bear, Share!













Action: Animal Cards


Fingerplay: Tune: The Bear Went Over the Mountain

My thumbs are starting to wiggle (repeat 3x)

And so are my hands!

Other verses: Hands….arms, Arms….feet, Feet…body


Book: A Good Day for a Hat
















*For this book, I like to make it more interactive. So, all throughout the book different things keep happening causing Mr. bear to change his hat. For instance, there are rabbits jumping all around so he puts on a magician's hat. I have little paper cutouts of rabbits and after I read that page I have the paper rabbits "rain" down up on the kids. I do this all throughout this book and the kids adore this!



Scarf Dancing:

Five little bears, sleeping on the floor.

One ran away and now there are four! 

(Ball up scarf and throw when you say ran each time.)

Four little bears,, cute as can be.

One ran away and now there are three!

Three little bears, wondering what to do.

One ran away and now there are two!

Two little bears, laying in the sun.

One ran away and now there is one!

One little bear cat got up to stretch and yawn. 

I looked away and now he’s gone! (Put scarf behind your back.)
