Ten Teddy Bears Sleeping in a Bed
Ten little teddy bears sleeping in the bed, Five at the foot and five at the head.
One little teddy said, “This bed is TOO full!”
So he grabbed the blanket and started to pull.
He pulled and he pulled and he pulled some more,
Until two little teddies went BOOM to the floor!
(Make pulling motions with PULL and clap with the BOOM) (Count down until…)One little teddy bear sleeping in the bed, Zero at the foot and one at the head.
This little teddy said, “This is not right! I don’t want to sleep alone tonight!” So…One little teddy bear sleeping in the bed, Zero at the foot and one at the head.
This teddy said, “This bed is NOT full!” So he put out his paw and started to pull.
He pulled and he pulled and he pulled some more,
Until four little teddies climbed up from the floor!(Count up until…)
Ten little teddy bears sleeping in the bed, Five at the foot and five at the head.
