CARE BEAR DESCRIPTIONS FROM www.care-bears.com
(I used the ones I thought most applied to our YW group)
Harmony Bear helps others get along. This peace-
loving bear knows our differences are something to be
celebrated, not something to keep us apart. When
differences are brought together in harmony they
create something beautiful. That's the meaning of her
symbol—a smiling flower with different colored petals.
Cheer Bear is a very happy Care Bear who helps
others see the bright side of life. She will sometimes
even do a cheer to help make someone happier.
Wherever she goes, Cheer Bear wears a symbol of
hope and happiness—a rainbow.
Good Luck Bear is loaded with luck and he loves to
share it with anyone who can use a little more good
fortune. You'll almost always find this bear with a big
smile on his face. Even the symbol on his tummy is
lucky—a four-leaf clover!
Need a good friend? Friend Bear would love to be
your best buddy bear. She's the perfect example of a
friend, too. She's caring, likes to play with you and
she's fun to be with. She has a friendly symbol on her
tummy—a rainbow with a star and heart.
Funshine Bear is the Care Bear's class clown. This
playful bear really knows how to be funny and to have
fun. Funshine Bear works hard to make sure that
people have a good time. "Enjoy each day" is
Funshine's motto and it's shown on the bear's
symbol—a smiling sun!
Tenderheart is a loving and lovable bear who knows
lots about helping others share their feelings. By
helping people show they care, Tenderheart Bear
helps spread love and make it grow. He wears the
perfect symbol for his job on his tummy—a heart.

Champ Care Bear is a real sports star. He's great at
every sport, but he's even better at sharing the real
prizes of sports-fun, fitness, friendship and learning to
be your best. He even shows this with his symbol—a
golden trophy with star.
There's always something funny going on wherever
Laugh-a-lot Bear is. This silly bear gets everything
mixed up but turns her little misfortunes and mistakes
into lots of laughter for others. Her symbol shows
what she really is—a star at giving others the giggles.
Do-Your-Best Bear is a Care Bear who dreams big
and never gives up. Like his name says, he helps
others put their best into everything they do. He's an
upbeat bear who's always ready to say, "Great job!"
His "aim high" attitude shows in his tummy symbol—a
beautiful kite.
Nobody knows how to share like Share Bear. She is
a friendly bear who knows how much fun it is to give
some of her good things to others. She thinks that
sharing is such a treat, that she shows it with her
symbol—two heart-shaped lollipops!
There's a very cute and slightly shy little guy whose
name is Bashful Heart Bear. He's the bear who
shows that you don't have to talk a lot to be extra
nice. His tummy symbol quietly tells his story. It's a
heart timidly hidden behind a cloud.
Grumpy Bear frowns a lot—that's his way to show us
how silly we look when we frown too much. He also
shows that it's okay to be grumpy sometimes. But
even when we're grumpy, we're still loved, and we're
reminded of that by Grumpy Bear's symbol—a rain
cloud with heart-shaped raindrops.

Surprise Bear thinks new and unexpected things are
fun. This bear helps others try out new and different
things. Of course, she also loves surprise gifts and
parties. Surprise has a surprising tummy symbol that
says what she's about—a smiling star springing out of
a jack-in-the-box.
True Heart Bear is all you would expect the very
first Care Bear to be. She's perky, friendly, lovable,
and loving. She almost glows with happy feelings. Her
tummy symbol hints at all the beautiful kinds of
caring that shine out from her—it's a rainbow star
glowing out from a heart.
You can tell anything to Secret Bear. She's that
special kind of friend people love to swap secrets
with. You can count on her to guard your secret with
care. Even her tummy symbol says, "your secret's
safe with me." It's a heart-shaped padlock!
Caring
Mission:
She reminds us of the importance of
trust between friends.
Bedtime Bear stays up nights. He's the special bear
who helps people get a good night's sleep and makes
sure that they have sweet dreams. There's no better
bear buddy for a goodnight hug. Bedtime has a
symbol that says what he's all about—a sleepy-faced
moon.
Love-a-lot Bear believes in the power of love, but is
not afraid to help it along. She's a pretty and perky
bear who loves everything about love and tries to
make it grow wherever she goes. Love-a-lot Bear
loves her tummy symbol too—two hearts!
Do you have a wish? Then Wish Bear is the bear you
should wish for. She knows that sometimes wishes
come true, and that even when they don't, making
wishes can be a lot of fun. She shows this with her
tummy symbol—a smiling wishing star.

Daydream Bear loves playing pretend. She shows how
important imagination is for everyone. But with her
funny little accidents, she also shows that it's
important to pay attention, too. Her tummy symbol is
a daydreamer's dream. It's a "spacey" heart-shaped
planet surrounded by stars.
