We're Going on a Bear Hunt is an old favorite of mine.
When I was a teacher I would sing this song and do the actions in our school assemblies.
The children loved it.
Now that I am older with all my lived experience of trauma.
I can identify the strong message the story gifts to us
We are all going on a bear hunt
When we face adversity
We can't go over it
We can't go under it
We can't go around it
We got to go through it
Then when we find the bear in the deep dark cave
We can run home to our safe, warm bed
And we can do that together with our friends and family!
We’re goin’ on a bear hunt,
We’re going to catch a big one,
I’m not scared
What a beautiful day!
Oh look! It’s some long, wavy grass!
Can’t go over it,
Can’t go under it,
Can’t go around it,
Got to go through it!
