The great big bear,

Gives a warning with a soft little growl.

Waves its paws in the air.
(move hands like claws)
Shakes its great big head
(shake head)
Rubs its furry little ears
(rub ears)
Gives a great big roar
(loud roar)
Then goes to sleep in its lair.
(hands to side of face for sleep)

- Flannelboard - Five Honey Bears (a counting rhyme I found many years ago, sorry but my notes do not say where I found it)
One little honey bear, finding things to do -
Along came another, then there were two.
Two busy honey bears, climbing up a tree -
Along came another, then there were three.
Three lively honey bears liked to explore -
Along came another, then there were four.
Four hungry honey bears, eating honey from a hive -
Along came another, then there were five.
Five tired honey bears had fun today!
They'll be back tomorrow, and you can see the play.
