Today, you will learn all about polar bears and their snowy home in the Arctic! You will discover what makes polar bears special, like their thick fur and swimming skills. You will also play a fun game of hide and seek to find the polar bears hiding in the snow, helping you understand the difference between big and small. Finally, we will celebrate our adventure with a dance! Get ready to explore, learn, and have a great time!
Are you ready for an adventure under the waves? Let’s dive into the ocean and have some fun together! Today, we’re going to explore a snowy place called the Arctic. Hop on a sled, and let’s go!
Wow, look at all the snow! It’s so soft and fluffy. Oh, look! Dean is covered in snow and looks just like a polar bear. But what is a polar bear? It’s a big, fluffy bear that lives in the cold Arctic.
Polar bears love the cold and have thick fur to keep them warm. They are great swimmers and use their big paws to swim between floating ice pieces called ice flows. Can you spot a polar bear on the biggest ice flow?
Polar bears are white, which helps them hide in the snow. It’s like a game of hide and seek! Do you want to play with us? Let’s find the polar bears hiding in the snow. Look for their black noses and little eyes peeking out. Ready, set, go!
While we play, we can also learn about big and small. Can you find the polar bear on the smallest ice flow? It’s not as big as the others. Sometimes it’s tricky to see them because they blend in so well!
We had so much fun today learning about polar bears and playing hide and seek. Now, let’s dance and celebrate our adventure! It’s always fun to explore and learn new things with friends.
What a wonderful day we had! We learned about polar bears, played games, and danced together. We hope you had fun too. Until next time, keep exploring and having fun!
Polar Bear Camouflage Art: Let’s create our own polar bear art! Use white paper and cotton balls to make a polar bear. Glue the cotton balls onto the paper to make the bear’s fluffy fur. Then, use a black marker to draw the eyes and nose. Can you make your polar bear blend into a snowy background? Try using a white crayon to draw snowflakes around your bear. This will help you understand how polar bears use their color to hide in the snow.
Ice Flow Jumping Game: Pretend your living room is the Arctic Ocean! Use pillows or pieces of paper as ice flows. Spread them out on the floor and try to jump from one to the other like a polar bear. Can you make it across without falling into the “water”? This game will help you understand how polar bears move from one ice flow to another.
Big and Small Hunt: Go on a hunt around your house or classroom to find objects that are big and small, just like the ice flows we learned about. Can you find something as big as a polar bear and something as small as a polar bear’s nose? Share your findings with a friend or family member and explain why you think each object is big or small.
