Sprinkle some fine glitter on one student’s hand and explain that the glitter represents germs. Get that glitter out! Yes, I can hear you groaning now, “Glitter!?” But this time the mess is worth the lesson.
before, during, and after food preparatioĪnd hey, even hand washing lessons can be a fun.In fact, here’s a little list of when we should all wash our hands: Hygiene Fun with GlitterĪnd while it may not be so “fun” take this opportunity to remind children that washing their hands before eating and after using the restroom is the #1 way to prevent getting sick. Perhaps the student’s own families have traditions and routines they follow when there is an ill family member.įor a fun craft have the students make a Get Well card for Bear (or perhaps an absent student or teacher who is actually away sick). There are a lot of examples of care giving in Bear Feels Sick, but encourage the children to think of new ideas about caring for others. Have them act out being sick and let the other children do things that help their friend feel better while washing their hands after caring for their friend and cleaning surfaces. The book provides a wonderful opportunity to teach children about caring for others and not passing on virus's. In Bear Feels Sick, Bear’s woodland friends all care for Bear while he is feeling “under the weather”. Add strawberries, animal shaped cookies, goldfish snack crackers and top it all off with honey buns (Little Debbie makes an inexpensive variety). Snack Time with Bearīear Party Food: For Bear Wants More pass out small bags of popcorn, honey nut cheerios, and apple cider pretend "black tea". Here is a fun learning activity where students can draw different items for each seaon. Bear Coloring Sheetĭownload this printout for a connect-the-dots coloring sheet.
Have the children act out the book while you read it. Go here to find instructions on making Bear puppets with paper bags. Bear Masksĭownload this printout to use as a template for bear masks. Then let the pretending begin! For Bear Wants More you can do the same basic activity but make it a planned surprise party instead. Select a spot in the classroom for the “potluck” party and have the children come with their dishes and put them on the table. Let each child cut out the foods they would bring to a “potluck” and glue it to the plate. Give each child a paper plate and pass around some food magazines.
For a fun activity have an “imaginary” potluck. If you think about it the whole book Bear Snores On is an impromptu potluck! I love potlucks so maybe that was a subconscious theme.
