Use a puppet for each type of bear.

If you’re a black bear and you know it, show your teeth…
If you’re a grizzly bear and you know it, growl out loud…
If you’re a panda bear and you know it, climb a tree…
If you’re a Paddington and you know it, eat some marmalade…

Frog and Toad Story Time – Everybody

Opening Song

Story: “Ice Cream” from Frog and Toad All Year by Arnold Lobel

Puppet Song: “Five Green and Speckled Frogs”
Five green and speckled frogs sat on a speckled log,
Eating the most delicious bugs. Yum, yum!
One jumped into the pool, where it was nice and cool.
Now there are four green and speckled frogs.

Repeat, taking a frog away each time until there are no green and speckled frogs.

Song: “Jumping and Counting” – Jim Gill: Jim Gill’s Irrational Anthem

Story: “A Lost Button” from Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel

Song: “Croaky Pokey”
You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out,
You put your right hand in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the croaky pokey,
And you hop yourself around,
That’s what it’s all about. (ribbit, ribbit)

Song: “All the Little Frogs” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
All the little frogs go Hop! Hop! Hop!
Hop! Hop! Hop! Hop! Hop! Hop!
All the little frogs go Hop! Hop! Hop!
All around the pond.

Additional verses:
All the little frogs go Splash! Splash! Splash!
All the little frogs go Swim! Swim! Swim!
All the little frogs go to sleep
