Hey there! Do you like playing games? Today, we’re going to play a super fun game called “Where Are You, Bears?” It’s all about hiding and finding, just like hide and seek!
First, one of us will be the finder. The finder closes their eyes and counts while everyone else hides. Let’s see who can find the best hiding spot!
Crystal is going to be the finder this time. Boomer and the other bears need to find a good place to hide while Crystal counts. Let’s count together: One bear, two bears, three bears, four… I might find more!
Crystal opens her eyes and starts looking for the hiding bears. “Here I come! The game’s begun!” she says. Boomer thought he had the best hiding spot, but Crystal found him! “Boomer, why aren’t you hiding?” Crystal asks. “I thought nobody would find me here,” Boomer replies.
Crystal and Boomer decide to find the other bears together. “Oh, I know! Those cute little ears tickled this cow!” Crystal says. “Found me!” says Scout happily. And look, there’s Melody too! “Here I am!” Melody says with a big smile.
Everyone loves playing “Where Are You, Bears?” so much that they want to play all day! Boomer wants to try hiding better next time. “Can I hide with the others?” he asks. “If you all hide together, it’ll be too easy for me to find you,” Crystal laughs.
Now it’s Boomer’s turn to be the finder. “Yay, let’s go!” he says excitedly. “One bear, two bears, three bears, four… If I find one, I might find more!”
Four bears, three bears, two bears, one… Here I come! The game’s begun!
Isn’t this game fun? You can play it with your friends and family too. Just remember to count and find the best hiding spots. Have fun playing “Where Are You, Bears?”
Bear Hunt at Home: Play a game of “Where Are You, Bears?” at home with your family or friends. Choose one person to be the finder and let everyone else hide. After the game, talk about the best hiding spots. Why were they good hiding spots? What made them tricky to find?
Create a Bear Map: Draw a simple map of your play area, like your living room or backyard. Mark where each bear (or friend) hid during the game. Use different colors for each hiding spot. Discuss why some spots were easier or harder to find. How could you make a map to help someone else find the bears?
Observation Walk: Go on a short walk around your neighborhood or park with an adult. Look for places where you think a bear could hide. Are there trees, bushes, or other spots that would make good hiding places? Share your ideas with your walking buddy and see if they agree!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Music] Those books are good at hiding. We can hide too! Let’s play “Where Are You, Bears?” One bear is the finder. The finder closes their eyes and counts while the other bears go and hide.
Oh, a hiding game! Yeah! And then the finder opens their eyes and tries to find everyone. I’m going to find the best hiding spot ever! Crystal, you’ll be the finder. Boomer, let’s hide while Crystal counts. Okay, let’s go! Hurry!
One bear, two bears, three bears, four… I might find more!
[Music] Four bears, three bears, two bears, one… Here I come! The game’s begun!
[Music] No one will ever find me here. What if my hiding spot is too good? What if Crystal never finds me? Where is everyone?
Ah, I see Boomer! Boomer, why aren’t you hiding? I thought you were going to find the best hiding spot ever.
Well, I thought nobody would find me here. Really? Huh. Why don’t you help me find the others?
Now that’s a great idea! Oh, I know! Those cute little ears tickled this cow! Found me! I’m so happy we found you, Scout! And look, it’s Melody!
Here I am! Finally, we found you! I love this “Where Are You, Bears?” game, Crystal!
Me too! I can play it all day!
All day! Boomer, next time you have to hide better. Can I hide with the others? If you all hide together, it’ll be too easy for me to find you.
Oh, Crystal, I have an idea! How about I be the finder this time?
Sure! Yay, let’s go! But one bear, two bears, three bears, four… If I find one, I might find more!
Four bears, three bears, two bears, one… Here I come! The game’s begun!
