Bears Level: Early Grades - Introductory

The Three Bears (pitch)

Tell the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. You could tell this from memory or use the suggested story book. Whichever way you choose, it would be great if you could differentiate each character strongly by high, low or medium pitch voices. Afterwards you could ask the children about the three bears' different voices:

• Which bear had the highest voice? The children could think of of words to describe baby bear's high voice: high is like a cat's mew, a tweeting bird, a tinkling bell.
• Low is like a dog's growl, grumbling thunder, a big drum … the children could think of more.

Tip - High and low pitch are often confused with loud and quiet volume, like the TV.
