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.
Bear is sleeping, bear is sleeping,
In a cave, in a cave.
I wonder when he’ll come out,
I wonder when he’ll come out,
In the spring, in the spring.

Action Rhyme: Brown Bear, Brown Bear
Brown bear, brown bear, turn around
Brown bear, brown bear, touch the ground
Brown bear, brown bear, reach up high
Brown bear, brown bear, touch the sky
Brown bear, brown bear, bend down low
Brown bear, brown bear, touch your toes
Brown bear, brown bear, go to bed
Brown bear, brown bear, rest your head
Brown bear, brown bear, turn out the lights
Brown bear, brown bear, say “good night”

Action Song: “Hibernation Song” (Tune: Wheels on the Bus)

The weather's getting cold so bundle up, bundle up, bundle up!  (rub arms)

The weather's getting cold so bundle up, winter's coming soon!

Verses:

The bears in the cave sleep all the time, all the time, all the time!  (sleep on hands)

The squirrels in the trees get lots of nuts, lots of nuts, lots of nuts!  (rake up nuts with hands)

The frogs and the toads go deep in the mud, deep in the mud, deep in the mud  (hop like frogs)

The ducks and the geese fly down south, fly down south, fly down south!  (flap arms)

The people in the town wear hats and gloves, hats and gloves, hats and gloves  (pat head, put on gloves)

Have caves in different colors, repeat until the bear is found.
