Outdoor Activity: We're going on a Bear Hunt!

Get fresh air and exercise while Social Distancing

By Jenny Sites March 23, 2020


Lots of local neighborhoods, including mine, have started to play this fun game "We're Going on a Bear Hunt". 

To participate, simply put a bear in your window that can be seen by people from the street. It can be a stuffed bear or a paper bear.  Families can walk through the neighborhood and find bears in the window. It's a great way to get families out for exercise and fresh air during social distancing!  Be sure to share this article with your friends and neighbors so lots of people can play!

You can print a bear for your window here.


This idea is based on the book "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen & Helen Oxenbury.  You can watch the animated story here.  You can also find fun free printables to make this into a lesson.
