The weather was a bit cold and wet the other day so the bears couldn't go outside and play, so they decided to play a game inside instead.
They have often played hide and seek in the garden, and there are lots of places to hide out there. But they thought perhaps they could also play it indoors. Their friends were visiting too, so there would be a lot of bears to join in.
Scary volunteered to be 'on' which meant he was going to be doing the seeking, but first he had to close his eyes and face away from everyone and count to 20 (which wasn't very difficult for him since he knows his numbers really well). At the end of the count he had to shout "Coming - ready or not!" and then he would start trying to find all the other bears.
The bears had all decided at the beginning that upstairs was out of bounds, so Scary only had the downstairs rooms to search.
