One of our all time favourites with our children when they were younger, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen has inspired the creation of a global teddy bear hunt for children going on walks with their family.

Like the idea of creating a rainbow for your window, hiding a bear in one of the street-facing windows of your house has become a global pastime.

This has been particularly popular in New Zealand, with even the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, taking part, placing a teddy in the front window of Premier House in Wellington.

You can participate by adding your own bear to the global bear hunt, and taking your family on a 'real life' bear hunt around your neighbourhood.

You can also enjoy the book at home with these two versions online:

As I write this, Michael Rosen is very poorly suffering from suspected coronavirus. Like many thousands of people around the world, I wish him well, and a speedy recovery.
