Singing and Rhymes:
Five little bears little bears were dancing on the floor
One fell down and that left four.

Four little bears climbed up a tree
One found a bee hive that left three

Three little bears were wondering what to do
One chased a bunny rabbit that left two.

Two little bears were looking for some fun
One took a swim that left one.

One little bear sitting all alone
He looked all around and then ran home.
