Bear Poems:
Big Bear, Little Bear
Tune: “London Bridges”
Here comes Big Bear, stomp, stomp stomp.
Stomp, stomp, stomp,
Stomp, stomp, stomp.

Stomp, Stomp, Big Bear.
Here comes Little Bear, tip, tap, tip.
Tip, tap, tip,
Tip, tap, tip.
Here comes Little Bear, tip, tap, tip
Tip, tap, Little Bear.
All Kinds of Bears
Tune: “Mary Had A Little Lamb”
Grizzly bears are big and brown,
Big and brown, big and brown.
Grizzly bears are big and brown.
They live in the woods.
Polar bears are soft and white,
Soft and white, soft and white.
Polar bears are soft and white.
They live where it’s cold.
Panda bears are black and white
Black and white, black and white.
Panda bears are black and white.
They eat bamboo in China.
Black bears like blueberries,
blueberries, blueberries.
Black bears like blueberries
That they find in the woods.
Teddy bears are just my size,
Just my size, just my size.
Teddy bears are just my size,
To cuddle with at night.
Can be done with fingers, finger puppets,
or a flannel board.
Two Little Bear Cubs
Tune: “Five Little Ducks”
Two little bear cubs went out to play. [hold up two fists]
Over the hill and far away. [move arm in a sweeping gesture for hill]
They tumbled and rolled in the grass so sweet. [roll fists]
Then sniffed around for some grubs to eat. [sniff]
They went back home and curled up in a heap, [put two fists together]
Then closed their eyes and went to sleep. [hands to the side of head, close eyes]
