Three bears and goldilocks song
Goldilocks & the Three Bears : Action Song & Story Telling
Goldilocks & the Three Bears is a huge favourite action song & story telling and probably the most familiar of all the traditional fairytales. As with all the best stories, children never tire of them and will happily listen to them over and over again.
In fact, it is from this repetition and re-telling that children actually gain so many educational benefits. From this they learn new vocabulary and develop the ability to tell their own stories which is so wonderful for stimulating the imagination and great for building confidence.
Before singing the Goldilocks song together, it is a good idea to tell the story first. If you don’t already have it on the bookshelf, here is a good version for small children. You can use the pictures to prompt a series of questions to help children get involved with the story. Ask them how many bears there were? and how many bowls of porridge? ask them to answer in a low voice for Daddy Bear, a medium voice for Mummy Bear, and a high squeaky voice for Baby Bear.
This song is excellent for learning the difference between large, middle sized and small, and high, medium and low pitches. Once you have read the story together, the children will be very ready to join in with the actions and really engage with this action song and story telling.
When Goldilocks went to the house of the bears, (make a roof shape with hands)
Oh what did her blue eyes see? (peep through circled fingers)
A bowl that was huge, a bowl that was small, (show huge, and small with hands)
And a bowl that was tiny, and that was all, (make a tiny bowl with hands)
She counted them one, two, three. (count with fingers 1, 2, 3 )
*
(repeat for verses 2 & 3 but instead of 3 bowls, there are 3 chairs in verse 2, and 3 beds in verse 3)
*
When Goldilocks ran from the house of the bears, (pretend to run on the spot)
Oh what did her blue eyes see? (peep through circled fingers)
A bear that was huge! (pretend to be a huge bear)
A bear that was small, (pretend to be a smaller bear)
And a bear that was tiny, and that was all, (pretend to be a tiny bear)
They growled at her, GROWL, GROWL GROWL!! (growl as loudly as you can!)
Marching Bears
After singing the song you can develop the ideas further by comparing the Daddy Bear to Daddy Semibreve (whole note) and Mummy Bear to Mummy Minim (half note) and the Baby Bear to the Little Quaver Twins (1/8th notes). See our Fun Way To Teach Kids Note Values post for more details. Everyone can march around the room to the beat of a tambourine taking giant steps with a great big deep voice, middle sized steps with a medium voice and tiny little steps with a high squeaky voice. The children are usually very keen to get into character!

No-one was there
It’s not there!”
Three Bears - Russian folk tale, read online
One girl left home for the forest. She got lost in the forest and began to look for her way home, but she did not find it, but came to the house in the forest.
The door was open; she looked at the door, sees: there is no one in the house, and entered.
Three bears lived in this house. One bear was a father, his name was Mikhailo Ivanovich. He was big and shaggy. The other was a bear. She was smaller, and her name was Nastasya Petrovna. The third was a little bear cub, and his name was Mishutka. The bears were not at home, they went for a walk in the forest.
There were two rooms in the house: one was a dining room, the other was a bedroom. The girl entered the dining room and saw three cups of stew on the table. The first cup, a very large one, was Mikhail Ivanovich's. The second cup, smaller, was Nastasya Petrovnina; the third, little blue cup, was Mishutkin. Beside each cup lay a spoon: large, medium and small.
The girl took the biggest spoon and drank from the biggest cup; then she took the middle spoon and drank from the middle cup; then she took a small spoon and drank from a little blue cup; and Mishutkin's stew seemed to her the best.
The girl wants to sit down and sees three chairs by the table: one large one is for Mikhail Ivanych; the other is smaller - Nastasya Petrovnin, and the third, small, with a blue little pillow - Mishutkin.
She climbed onto a large chair and fell; then she sat down on the middle chair, it was awkward on it; then she sat down on a small chair and laughed—it was so good.
She took the little blue cup into her lap and began to eat. She ate all the stew and began to swing on a chair.
The chair broke and she fell to the floor.
She got up, picked up a chair and went to another room. There were three beds: one big bed for Mikhail Ivanovich; the other middle one is Nastasya Petrovnina; the third small one is Mishenkina.
The girl lay down in the big bed, it was too spacious for her; lay down in the middle - it was too high; she lay down in the little one - the bed fit her just right, and she fell asleep.
And the bears came home hungry and wanted to have dinner.
The big bear took the cup, looked and roared in a terrible voice:
- WHO DRINKED IN MY CUP?
Nastasya Petrovna looked at her cup and growled not so loudly:
— WHO DRINKED IN MY CUP?
And Mishutka saw his empty cup and squeaked in a thin voice:
— WHO DRINKED IN MY CUP AND DRINKED EVERYTHING?
Mikhail Ivanovich looked at his chair and roared in a terrible voice:
— WHO SIT ON MY CHAIR AND PUSHED IT FROM THE PLACE?
Nastasya Petrovna looked at her chair and growled not so loudly:
- WHO WAS SITTING ON MY CHAIR AND PUSHING IT OUT?
Mishutka looked at his broken chair and squeaked:
— WHO SIT ON MY CHAIR AND BROKEN IT?
The bears came to another room.
— WHO WAS IN MY BED AND KRUGGED IT? roared Mikhail Ivanovitch in a terrible voice.
— WHO WAS IN MY BED AND KRUGGED IT? growled Nastasya Petrovna, not so loudly.
And Mishenka set up a bench, got into his bed and squeaked in a thin voice:
- WHO WAS IN MY BED?
And suddenly he saw a girl and squealed as if he was being cut:
— There she is! Hold it, hold it! There she is! Ay-ya-yay! Hold on!
He wanted to bite her.
The girl opened her eyes, saw bears and rushed to the window. It was open, she jumped out the window and ran away. And the bears did not catch up with her.
