Song: Bears (Sung to Mary Had A Little Lamb)
Grizzly bears are big and brown, Big and brown, big and brown.
Grizzly bears are big and brown, and live in the woods.

Polar bears are soft and white, soft and white, soft and white.
Polar bears are soft and white, and live where it is cold.

Panda bears are black and white, Black and white, black and white.
Panda bears are black and white, and live in the jungle.

Teddy bears are just my size, just my size, just my size.
Teddy bears are just my size, to cuddle with at night.

Rhyme: Five Little Bears: Counting Down
Five little bears heard a loud roar
One ran away Then there were four!
Four little bears climbing up a tree
One slid down Then there were three!
Three little bears deciding what to do
One fell asleep Then there were two!
Two little bears having lots of fun
One went home Then there was one!
One little bear Feeling all alone
Ran to his mother Then there were none!
