The Bear A Finger Play
Here is a cave (make a fist,) Inside is a bear
(put thumb inside fist.) Now he comes out To get
some fresh air (pop out thumb.) He stays all
summer In sunshine and heat. He hunts in the
forest For berries to eat (move thumb in a
circle.) (Continued next slide)

The Bear A Finger Play (continued)
When snow starts to fall, He hurries inside His
warm little cave, And there he will hide. (put

cave Like a fluffy white rug. Inside the bear
sleeps All cozy and snug.
