The Berenstain Bears and the Spooky Old Tree (Bright & Early Books(R))

The Spooky Old Tree

By Stan and Jan Berenstein

 

Read the book aloud.  Allow children to join in as they feel comfortable with the pattern and rhyme. 

Reread the book.  this time have the children recall and act out the bear's actions in order.  The children should act out what the bears did first, second and so on.

As an extension create a simple list of things (1-5) for the children to do.  For example 1st-touch your nose, 2nd-clap 2 times. 3rd-hop on one foot, etc..
