Fingerplay: Five Little Polar Bears

Five little polar bears, playing near the shore.
One tumbled in, and then there were four.
Four little polar bears swimming in the sea.
One chased a seal, and then there were three.
Three little polar bears, what shall we do?
One went swimming and then there were two.
Two little polar bears playing in the sun,
One took a nap and then there was one.
One little polar bear, not very old.
Where's my mom?  I’m hungry and cold.

Three little kernels… (Hold up 3 fingers.)

Two little kernels… (Hold up 2 fingers.)

One little kernel… (Hold up 1 finger.)

No little kernels (Hold up fist.) sizzling in the pot. The pot got hot, And it went POP! (Clap hands and say the last word loudly.)
