ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten ???? Kids Read Aloud | POLAR BEAR, POLAR BEAR, WHAT DO YOU HEAR? by Bill Martin Jr
Hello, friends! Today, we’re going to have a fun story time together. We’re going to read a book called “Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?” by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Once upon a time, there was a polar bear. The polar bear heard something. Can you guess what it was? It was a lion roaring! Wow, that’s loud!
Then, the lion heard something too. It was a hippopotamus snorting! That’s a funny sound, isn’t it?
The hippopotamus heard a flamingo floating by. The flamingo looked so happy and pink!
Next, the flamingo heard a zebra braying. Zebras have stripes and make a funny sound!
The zebra heard a snake called a boa constrictor hissing. Oh no, watch out for the snake!
The boa constrictor heard an elephant trumpeting. Elephants have big ears and make a loud sound!
The elephant heard a leopard snarling. Leopards are fast and have spots!
The leopard heard a peacock yelping. Peacocks have beautiful feathers!
The peacock heard a walrus bellowing. Walruses have big tusks and live where it’s cold!
The walrus heard a zookeeper whistling. Oh, they’re all in a zoo! That’s why they can hear each other!
Guess what? The zookeeper heard children making animal sounds too! They were growling like a polar bear, roaring like a lion, and even trumpeting like an elephant. How fun!
Thank you for joining us for story time! We hope you had fun listening to all the animal sounds. See you next time for more adventures!
Animal Sound Match: Gather a set of animal toys or pictures that match the animals from the story. Play a recording of different animal sounds and ask the children to match the sound to the correct animal toy or picture. Encourage them to make the sounds themselves and discuss what they think each animal might be doing when it makes its sound.
Create Your Own Animal Story: Provide the children with paper and crayons. Ask them to draw their favorite animal from the story and imagine a new adventure for it. Encourage them to think about what other animals their chosen animal might meet and what sounds they would hear. Have them share their stories with the class, practicing their storytelling and creativity.
Sound Safari Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to close their eyes and listen carefully to the sounds around them. Have them identify and mimic the sounds they hear, such as birds chirping, leaves rustling, or cars passing by. Discuss how these sounds are similar to or different from the animal sounds in the story.

Hey, I’m Ryan Lagod, and I’m Craig Toy. Welcome to Story Time with Ryan Lagod and Craig Toy. Today’s book is “Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?” by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle.
Let’s get started!
Polar bear, polar bear, what do you hear?
I hear a lion roaring in my ear.
Lion, lion, what do you hear?
I hear a hippopotamus snorting in my ear.
Hippopotamus, hippopotamus, what do you hear?
I hear a flamingo floating in my ear.
Well, there’s a happy fellow!
Yeah, he is! He’s so happy!
Flamingo, flamingo, what do you hear?
I hear a zebra braying in my ear.
Zebra, zebra, what do you hear?
I hear a boa constrictor hissing in my ear.
Whoa, zebra! Look out! Look out! That snake!
Oh wow, a snake here in the dunes where I run!
Boa constrictor, what do you hear?
I hear an elephant trumpeting in my ear.
Elephant, elephant, what do you hear?
I hear a leopard snarling in my ear.
Bet he hears a lot more than that! His ears are so big!
Do you think he hears us right now?
Leopard, leopard, what do you hear?
I hear a peacock yelping in my ear.
Is he French?
Yeah, I know!
Peacock, peacock, what do you hear?
I hear a walrus bellowing in my ear.
Walruses and peacocks don’t even live in the same place, but they just talk to each other because they’re friends.
Walrus, walrus, what do you hear?
I hear a zookeeper whistling in my ear.
Zookeeper, zookeeper, what do you hear?
Oh, they’re in a zoo! That’s how they’re all together!
This whole time, I thought they were communicating through ESP!
What’s that?
Elephant, snake, polar bear… it doesn’t make any sense!
I know! I hear children growling like a polar bear, roaring like a lion, floating like a hippopotamus, flying like a flamingo, braying like a zebra, hissing like a boa constrictor, trumpeting like an elephant, snarling like a leopard, yelping like a peacock, and like a walrus!
That’s what I hear—the kids with the animals almost the whole time!
Polar bear, polar bear, what do you hear?
By Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle.

Craig, Craig, what do you hear?
I hear Ryan crying in my ears!
