 Hibernation Song Credit Preschool Education

Sung to: "Are you sleeping"
Bear is sleeping, bear is sleeping
In the cave, In the cave.
I wonder when he'll come out. I wonder when he'll come out.
In the spring, In the spring.

Birds are flying, birds are flying
In the sky, in the sky.
I wonder when they'll come back, I wonder when they'll come back,
In the spring, in the spring.



Winter's Coming! Credit Preschool Education  Original Author Unknown
Sung to:

Frere Jacques"
Winter's coming. Winter's coming.
It is dark. It is cold.
I am bundled snug and warm.
Animals sleep safe from harm.
Sleds and snow.
Cold winds blow.


Hibernation Song- Credit Preschool Plan-It

sung to the tune of Frere Jacques
Fill in the blank with a hibernation animal name and repeat for all!
________ are sleeping. ________ are sleeping.
All winter long! All winter long!
Sleeping all through winter is called hibernation.
They're snug and warm. Snug and warm.
