  • Play our video Un paseo por el Ártico.
  • After watching, ask “Si fueran al Ártico, ¿qué necesitarían llevar? ¿Qué cosas verían allí?”
  • Read the issue together.
  • Then move along with polar bears in our ¡BAILA BAILA! video.
  • Use the Demuestra lo que sabes printable to boost comprehension and early literacy skills.

Materials: white construction paper, masking tape

  • Tell children that to get around in the Arctic, sometimes polar bears leap over water from one piece of ice to the next. Then let children pretend to be polar bears! In advance, tape white construction paper to the f loor in a zigzag pattern. Space the sheets so kids can get from one to the next with a small stretch. Have kids take off their shoes and socks.
  • Now have kids line up behind the first “témpano” and, one by one, jump from témpano to témpano without falling in the “agua.”
  • Kids waiting in line can encourage their classmates by singing a chant:
    Oso polar, oso polar, salta, salta, salta, ¡ya!
