Once upon a time, there were five little monkeys who loved to jump on the bed. They had so much fun bouncing up and down!
As they were jumping, one little monkey fell off the bed and bumped his head. Ouch! That must have hurt. Mama monkey was worried, so she called the doctor. The doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
Now, there were four little monkeys left. They kept jumping on the bed, having a great time. But then, oh no! Another monkey fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the doctor again, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
With three monkeys left, they still wanted to jump on the bed. They were having so much fun! But guess what? One more monkey fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
These silly monkeys learned an important lesson. Jumping on the bed can be fun, but it’s also important to be safe. We can jump and play in safe places like the playground or on the grass. Always remember to be careful and listen to grown-ups!
Let’s count the monkeys together! Can you count from five to one? Try it with your fingers! It’s fun to count and learn numbers.
Remember, it’s always good to have fun, but being safe is the most important thing!
Monkey Safety Dance: Create a fun and safe dance routine with your friends or family. Pretend to be the monkeys jumping on the bed, but instead of falling, practice stopping and balancing safely. Can you come up with a special move to remind everyone to be careful? Share your dance with the class!
Safe Jumping Exploration: Find a safe place to jump, like a soft mat or grassy area. Try jumping up and down and notice how it feels. Can you jump higher or lower? What happens when you land softly? Talk about why it’s important to choose safe places for jumping and playing.
Counting and Storytelling: Use your fingers to count down from five to one, just like the monkeys. As you count, tell your own story about what happens to each monkey. What do they do after they stop jumping on the bed? Encourage your imagination and share your story with a friend or family member.
