Everyone's favorite pic-a-nic basket-stealing bear comes to the big screen in Yogi Bear, a live-action/CG-animated adventure in 3D. The National Wildlife Federation teamed up with Yogi Bear to extend the movie's lessons and inspire kids to learn about wildlife and get outside in their neighborhood or favorite park.
About the Movie
Jellystone Park™ has been losing business so greedy Mayor Brown decides to shut it down and sell the land. That means families will no longer be able to experience the natural beauty of the outdoors – and, even worse, Yogi and his pal Boo Boo will be tossed out of the only home they’ve ever known.
Faced with his biggest challenge ever, Yogi must prove that he really is "smarter than the average bear" as he and Boo Boo join forces with Ranger Smith to find a way to save the park from closing forever.
Activities Guide
The National Wildlife Federation has created this guide to help kids and families explore the themes of the film Yogi Bear. Activities are designed for kids and families to do together, and links to National Wildlife Federation’s programs are provided to help kids learn about wildlife and get outdoors.

More Activities
- Get Outside: Hike a trail, fly a kite, float leaf boats down a stream, skip a stone across a pond, sled in the snow, roll down a hill, climb a tree, play hide-and-seek in the tall grass, or build a fort.
- Camp Out: Set up a tent and sleep under the stars.
- Visit a National Park: In the movie, Jellystone Park™ is in trouble because not enough people are visiting it. Do some research into national parks like Yellowstone, one of the important habitats the National Wildlife Federation is working to protect, and decide which one to pay a visit.
- Adopt a Wildlife Acre: Help wildlife like grizzly bears by raising money and adopting an acre of land. Our adoption program works with ranchers to identify grazing areas where wildlife are at risk and then offers ranchers a fair price in exchange for their agreement to retire their public land grazing leases.
- Read about the Frog-Mouthed Turtle: Is this Yogi Bear co-star a real species? Take a guess and then read the National Wildlife Federation's blog to find out the truth.
