Activity 1: This activity can be individual or in a group. In Bear has a story to tell,, Bear has went to ask duck, mole, frog, and mouse to listen to his story.. He is so excited to just share his story but no one has time to listen to him. For the activity, you will think of a time when you have wanted to share a story. If there has always been someone to hear your story, think of how it would feel if no one would listen to the story you wanted to tell. Something or someone may have not allowed you to share your story. You will write down a story of your choice that you would want others to hear or that you have tried to have others hear and they turned you down. For example; I fell off my bike and I now have a cut that won't stop bleeding....You would want someone to listen to this story and offer sympathy. After you have written down ideas, you will get to share your story. You will be writing a play about your own story of choice. Share your story for family or your classmates.
Activity 2: This activity involves partners. Bear has a story but none of his friends could listen to the story he had to tell. You will create your own story, but you will need to go around the classroom and ask other classmates if they want to hear your story. ((just like Bear did in the book) and then the partner that listened to your story will have you stay and listen to their story.
Activity 3: This activity can be done by yourself or with a friend. In the story, Duck, mouse, frog, and mole all went into hibernation. Do some research and find out what hibernation means. Find out the processes duck, mouse, frog, and mole all have to go through in order to hibernate. You can search the internet or books you find in a library. Compose your findings onto a sheet of paper and share your findings to family or friends.
