Language Arts I'm sure there are a zillion versions of the Bear Hunt by now, but this is the one that I always do with my First graders.  Everyone sits  in a circle with their legs crossed and start slapping their legs with the palms of their hands in a rhymic motion.  You chant a line at a time and the children repeat it. It goes like this. REPEAT EACH PHRASE. Goin on a bear hunt  (repeat) I'm not afraid        (repeat) Got a real good friend (children hug each other during this part) (repeat phrase) By my side       (repeat) Oh, Oh              (repeat) What do I see?   (repeat) Oh look! It's some tall grass!   (repeat) Can't go over it   (repeat) Can't go under it   (repeat) Can't go around it  (repeat) Got  to go through it   (rpt)( Make motions with arms like you are clearing a way thru grass)                                       Goin on a bear hunt (repeat) I'm not afraid ( repeat) Got a real good friend (repeat) By my side.(repeat)              Oh, Oh! (repeat) What do I see? (repeat)                                  Oh look!  It's a tall tree.(repeat) Can't go over it  (repeat) Can't go under it   (repeat) Can't go through it   (repeat)
