Title: Bear Card Charades

-Sent in by Jane Hauger from West Virginia, USA

 

When you're teaching the bear cards, have students play bear card charades. Have a child pick up a reversed bear card and then act out the illustration. Classmates must guess what is being acted by responding in sentence form:

 

You are taking a shower.

You are a bear taking a shower.

Are you a bear taking a shower?

 

For my kindergarten, I would make a bear's ears headband for the actors to wear in turn or a pair of mittens to represent the bear's paws.

 

This activity could also be done with the monkey cards as well.
