What is a Bear Walk?

A bear walk is a fun way to move around like a bear! It’s a special way of walking that helps your body be strong and learn to move really well.

How to Do the Bear Walk

Doing a bear walk is easy and exciting! Follow these steps:

• Get Down on All Fours: Start by getting down on the floor. Put your hands and feet on the ground, just like a bear does!
• Left Side First: Step forward with your left hand and your right foot at the same time. It’s like you are making a big step!
• Right Side Next: Now, step forward with your right hand and your left foot. Keep moving like this, one side then the other!

This way of walking, where you move one side of your body and then the other, helps you practice coordination, which means your body learns how to move all together!
