Our favorite thing about camping is the campfire! What better fun to have around the campfire than to sing a campfire song with the kids. When our kids were little, we would sing our favorite songs around the campfire. When I was a kid, my music teacher would sing the first part and we would sing the second part. We suggest you do the same with your kids!

Lyrics
We’re going on a bear hunt (repeat)
I’ve got my binoculars (repeat)
I’m not scared (repeat)
Oh, Look at that tall wavy grass
It’s so tall
Can’t go over it (repeat)
Can’t go under it (repeat)
Just going to have to go through it (repeat)
swish swish swish
We’re going on a bear hunt (repeat)
I’ve got my binoculars (repeat)
I’m not scared (repeat)
Uh oh, there’s a big river
Can’t go over it (repeat)
Can’t go under it (repeat)
Going to have to swim it (repeat)
splash splash splash
We’re going on a bear hunt (repeat)
I’ve got my binoculars (repeat)
I’m not scared (repeat)
Ugh, look at all that mud
So muddy
Can’t go over it (repeat)
Can’t go under it (repeat)
Going to have to go through it
squish squish squish
We’re going on a bear hunt (repeat)
I’ve got my binoculars (repeat)
I’m not scared (repeat)
Uh oh, what’s that
It’s a cave
We can’t go over it (repeat)
We can’t go under it (repeat)
Going to have to go into it
step step step
We’re going on a bear hunt (repeat)
I’ve got my binoculars (repeat)
I’m not scared
I’m a little scared
Sure is dark in here
What’s that in the corner
I feel 2 big ears (repeat)
I feel 1 wet nose (repeat)
I feel 2 sharp teeth (repeat)
I know what that is
It’s a bear
Let’s get out of here
Let’s run out of the cave
step step step
Quickly back through the mud
squish squish squish
Let’s cross the river
splash splash splash
Through the tall grass
swish swish swish
Through the yard, up the stairs, into the house, close the door
We’re safe
That’s a close one
Let’s not go bear hunting anymore!
