Teddy Bear Finger Plays

and Songs      

Bear Song

Sung to: "Row, row, row your boat"

Hug, hug, hug your bear
Squeeze him very tight
Hold him high                                                           
Help him fly                                             
Then hug with all your might.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
Turn around.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
Touch the ground.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear     ,                  
Show your shoe.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
That will do!

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
Go upstairs.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
Say your prayers.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
Switch off the light.

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear,
Say "Good night!"

Bear Went Over the Mountain
(To the Tune of: For He's a Jolly Good Fellow)

The bear went over the mountain,

The bear went over the mountain,

The bear went over the mountain,

To see what he could see

To see what he could see,

To see what he could see

The other side of the mountain,

The other side of the mountain,

The other side of the mountain,

Was all that he could see

Was all that he could see,

Was all that he could see,

The other side of the mountain,

Was all that he could see!

Give me an A!
Give me a R!

Three Brown Bears
(Tune: Three Blind Mice)

Three brown bears,
Three brown bears
See all their beds,
See all their chairs.
The mommy cooked in
A big brown pot,
The daddy's porridge
Was much too hot,
The baby bear always cried a lot.
Three brown bears.

Teddy Bears
Pick your teddy bear
Up from the ground,
Then go dancing all around.
Hold him high and hold him low,
As round and round and round you go!
Hold him left and hold him right,
Hold him tight with all your might!
Hold him close and hold him far,
Pretend that he can drive a car!
Hold him in front and hold him in back,
Sit down with him on your lap!
 

Fuzzy Wuzzy

Fuzzy Wuzzy
Was a bear,
Fuzzy Wuzzy
Had no hair,
Fuzzy Wuzzy
Wasn't really fuzzy,
Was he?

You Like To Buzz?

Do you like to buzz,
Are you covered all in fuzz?
Do you call a hive a home
In the Garden where you roam?
Do you know how to make honey,
Are your stripes a little funny?
Do you like to buzz?

Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee

I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee.

Won’t my mommy be so proud of me?

I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee.

OUCH!  He stung me. 

I’m squishing up my baby bumble bee.  

Won’t my mommy be so proud of me?

 I’m squishing up my baby bumble bee.

YUCK!  What a mess.

I’m wiping off my baby bumble bee.

Won’t my mommy be so proud of me.

 I’m wiping off my baby bumble bee.

UH! OH!  Here comes Mom!

Here is the Beehive
(To the Tune of: )

Here is the Beehive
(hold up fist)

But where are the bees?

They're hiding inside
(point to fist)

Where nobody sees

Soon they'll come crawling out of the hive
(unfold fingers)

1-2-3-4-5

Buzzzz-zzzz-zzzz-zzzz
(flutter fingers away)

There was a Bear Who Loved to Dance
There was a bear who loved to dance

And Teddy was his name-o.

Left foot tap tap tap

Right foot tap tap tap

Both claws clap clap clap

And Teddy was his name-o

There was a bear who loved to dance

And Teddy was his name-o.

Turn, turn all around

Bend and touch the ground.

Jump, jump up and down

And Teddy was his name-o.
