We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen was a favorite even before we started doing Before Five in a Row (BFIAR). This classic story is about a family who, in hunting for a bear, had to go through grass, mud, a river, a forest, and a snowstorm. The lyrical words BEG to be chanted and we made up our own song and actions to go along with it.
BRAIN BOOSTER, LISTENING, COMPREHENSION Little T loves playing hide and seek so I decided to have a bear hunt of our own. I hid five teddies around the house and gave her clues on where she can find them: someone is hiding in a pocket, or is peeking out from under the covers, etc.
