.

! ! ! Objective: Students will use logical thinking skills to

! ! ! determine which cave each bear will hibernate in for the

! ! ! winter.

Materials:• Bear picture cards

• Cave picture card

• Cave Confusion Clues

• Pocket Chart (optional)

Preparations:

! Cut out pictures of bears and caves (mount on card stock and laminate for

durability, if desired)

Directions:1. Place the cave picture card on the top row of a pocket chart or taped to a

whiteboard in this order:

Comfy Cave, Hibernation Hotel, Bear Bunkhouse, Winter Retreat

2. Then place the bears on the bottom row of the pocket chart or on the chalk

railing of the whiteboard.

3. Introduce the bears and explain how they are getting ready to take their

annual winter nap (hibernation). A quick lesson/review in hibernation may be

necessary.

4. Continue to explain that every year, the bears get confused about which cave

they hibernate it since only one bear can sleep in each cave. However, last year,

the bears got smart and wrote clues to help them remember and hid the clues

under a large rock.

5. Display the clue card. Explain how the students are going to use the clues to

determine which cave each bear will hibernate in for the winter.

6. Read the clues, one at a time, to the class. After each clue is read, allow for

class discussion and then have a student volunteer place the appropriate bear

under the correct cave. If necessary, allow students to switch bears to different

caves after hearing additional clues.

7. When all bears have been placed under a cave, re-read the clues to verifycorrect placement and adjust if necessary.

Options:! For a more individualized activity, distribute four different colored teddy bear

counters and 4 paper bags to represent each cave. Student place the counters

into the corresponding cave as you read the clues.! This can be used as a math tub. Allow students to create new clues.
