Five Little Monkeys
Songs can be a fun way to teach numbers and new words. Five Little Monkeys is one of the greatest nursery rhymes because it has silly rhymes, easy words (doctor, mother, monkey, jump, bed), it teaches kids numbers, it can be danced on, and even acted out.
Lyrics:
5 little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped its head
Mother called the doctor and the doctor said:
No more monkey jumping on the bed!
4 little monkeys….
3 little monkeys…
2 little monkeys…
1 little monkey…
No more monkeys jumping on the bed
None fell off or bumped its head
Mother called the doctor and the doctor said:
Put those monkeys back in the bed!
Here are some stick puppets I created for this song. I hope you’ll enjoy using them!
