Go On A "Bear Hunt" With Your Family

While hangouts and play dates are out, bear hunts are in! Across the USA and the world, neighbors are participating in Bear Hunting. Inspired by Michael Rosen’s 1989 children’s book "We’re Going on a Bear Hunt,” kids scavenger hunt for teddy bears during their social distance walks.

Participation is easy, place a teddy bear in a street-facing window for others to find on their social distance walks. Share your favorite bear finds for friends to look out for on their bear hunt. Residents that don’t have a bear can create their own by printing one out or craft their own. West Sacramento resident Stacey Ball shared her cartooning skills on Facebook.  People and families can watch and craft paper bears together.
