Sing a Song

The Bear Went Over the Mountain

Some bears are brown. Do you know this bear song? Tune: For He's a Jolly Good Fellow

The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
The bear went over the mountain,
To see what he could see

To see what he could see,
To see what he could see

The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see

Was all that he could see,
Was all that he could see,
The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see!

Watch

Brown is the color of the day on The Color Crew!

Try This

Today’s color is brown. Can you do the Teddy Bear action rhyme? For young ones, try bouncing them up and down and clapping hands.

Teddy Bear

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear
Turn around
Teddy Bear Teddy Bear
Touch the ground
Teddy Bear Teddy Bear
Turn off the light
Teddy Bear Teddy Bear
Say good night
