Puppet Rhyme: “My Bear”
My bear is looking all around.
My bear is sniffing at the ground.
My bear is looking at my toes.
My bear can kiss me on the nose.
My bear can whisper in my ear.
What’s he saying? Can you hear?
My bear can hide behind me,
But wherever I go, my bear can surely find me.

Eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.

Sleepy bear, sleepy bear,
Are you in the (color) lair?
Repeat for different colored lairs (caves) until you find the bear.

Rain on the grass, (shake on floor)
Rain on the trees, (shake high)
Rain on the roof, (hold above head)
But not on me. (drop)

Sits so still.
