How to hold your own Teddy Bears’ Picnic

Set the date for 14th November -WDD

• Pick a date in the month of November, time and

location for your Picnic and make sure it is easily

accessible. A Picnic can be held at morning tea,

lunch, dinner or an afternoon BBQ – whatever

suits

Picnic ideas

• A Picnic can be held anywhere – at home, work,

school or in your local club

• You don’t have to hold it outside – your living

room, meeting room, staff tea room or

a community centre will do

• Theme your Picnic – everyone bring a teddy bear,

a colourful Picnic, mufti dress or crazy hat/tie

theme

• Gold coin lines – draw a bear on the floor with

tape and aim to cover the tape with coins

school or workplace
