Goin' on a Bear Hunt

Today for our Thursday's Thriller, we went on a Bear Hunt.  I made some binoculars out of a toilet paper roll cut in half and taped together.  I got Nathan dressed in his hunting gear with a backpack (stocked with crackers), hat, binoculars, and a flashlight.  Then I hid a teddy bear in a dark room/cave and we were ready for our hunt.  Here are the lyrics of a fun bear hunt.  You say one line and then the kids repeat it:

Cool Bear Hunt

Chorus: We're going on a bear hunt. 

            We're going to catch a big one,

With big green eyes,

And a fuzzy little tail.

Look over there. 

It's a candy factory. 

Can't go over it. 

Can't go under it. 

Can't go around it. 

Guess we'll go through it.

Yum, yum, yum, yummmm. (Chorus)

Look over there.

It's a peanut butter river

Can't go over it.

Can't go under it.

Can't go around it.

Guess we'll swim through it.

(Grunts as you swim through the PB) (Chorus)

Look over there. 

It's a Jell-o swamp

Can't go over it.

Can't go under it.

Can't go around it.

Guess we'll go through it.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle (Chorus)

Look over there. 

It's a cave. . .

It's cold in here. 

I see two big green eyes, 

And a fuzzy little tail. 

It's a bear! 

Go through the Jell-o swamp. 

Swim across the peanut butter river. 

Go through the candy factory.

Run home. 

Open the door. Shut the door. 

We went on a bear hunt, 

And we weren't afraid!

After our bear hunt, when we were safe inside again, we had some crackers for a snack.  If I were more prepared today we would have had candy, peanut butter, and 
jell-o...Oh-well.  Later Nathan, the fierce hunter, took a nap with his prey.
