Teacher: Let's go on a bear hunt. (Slap knees to imitate walking)
Remember children repeat each line and continue slapping knees after each section.

I see a wheat field
Can't go over it;
Can't go under it.
Let's go through it.
(arms straight ahead and sweeping back like you're parting wheat)

I see a river.
Can't go over it;
Can't go under it.
Let's swim.
(arms in swimming motion)

I see a tree.
Can't go over it;
Can't go under it.
Let's go up it.
(climb and look)

I see a swamp.
Can't go over it;
Can't go under it.
Let's go through it.
(pull hands up and down slowly)

I see a cave.
Can't go over it;
Can't go under it.
Let's go in.
(slap knees slow)

I see two eyes.
I see two ears.
I see a nose.
I see a mouth.
It's a Bear!!!
(do all in reverse very fast)

NOTE! As children get use to doing this
you might want to add things at the begining
and end as we did. After I say Let's go on a bear hunt we decide
what we need to wear and take with us. Makeing motions
of dressing, checking flashlight, etc..
and undressing when we return. Don't forget to lock the windows!
