Hello Kids,
Welcome to the page just for you where you can play games and learn more
about bears.
Activities & Games
Learn how to make your very own
Plaster Casts of bear tracks and other animals.
 
Download the
Florida Black Bear Activity Guide to play
games (like the one below), complete puzzles connect-the-dots while
learning about Florida's bears. It includes a section called "Be Bear
Aware" to educate you about safety in bear country.
Did you know that once bears find garbage or pet food,
they will continue to return to the easy food source, potentially
causing damage to property in their search? The flier “In a Bear’s Quest for
Calories…” contains common types of human foods with how many acorns a
bear would have to eat to get the same amount of calories.
Download the Bears and You Activity and Information book* made just for
kids. Here you can play games while learning about bears in your area
and neighborhood. Learn what to do and what not to do to keep both you
and bears safe. For example:
