A mother bear and a cub proved that elementary school pupils are not the only ones who can have fun in the playground.

Teachers at Isaac Dickson Elementary School in North Carolina were left stunned when they saw a mother bear and a cub playing on the outdoor jungle gym, rather than the usual crowds of young children.

Adorable footage, shared to social media on September 21, showed the black bear teaching her cub how to use the playground slide.

The clip begins with the mother bear patiently waits at the top of the slide while the tiny cub makes its way up the steps to join her.

After pausing at the smaller slide, the brave cub makes its way up to the tallest slide to join its mother, who has already skidded down the bright green slide.

The group of teachers recording the moment laugh and shout 'oh my god' before they all scream in delight as they watch the mother play on the slide.

But the mother runs back towards the smaller slide and eagerly waits for the cub at the bottom, who nervously stands on the jungle gym.

Pretending to mimic the mother bear's thoughts, one teacher hilariously says: 'You can do this one honey, it's the smaller one! You can do it!'

The cub finally plucks up the courage to slither down the slide and join its mother, who proudly embraces the tiny bear in a massive hug.

One teacher says: 'Oh my gosh! That seriously just happened. Oh my god.' 

The excited pair continue to wrestle at the bottom of the jungle gym, with the cub seeming overjoyed at learning how to use the playground slide. 

Fourth grade teacher Betsie Stockslager Emry shared the heartwarming footage to Facebook, cheering hundreds of people's days up with the 'cute' scene.
