Instructions
1. Read Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? to the class several times
before attempting this activity so the children are very familiar with the story
and the flow.
2. Give each child a few pieces of paper. On the first page, ask the child to
write "Bobby, Bobby (child's name), what do you see?" Each child writes his
own name on his page.
3. Then ask the children to draw a picture of themselves on the page and write,
"I see a ________ looking at me." The child then draws whatever he writes.
4. This continues for each animal or person that the child sees.
5. This can be done over several days, with the children making one page each
day.
6. Help the children put their pages together and staple them to make a book.
7. When finished, the children will have their own book that they will be able
to read without adult help.
