ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten Five Little Monkeys Jumping On The Bed with action hand motions hand puppets
Once upon a time, there were five little monkeys who loved to jump on the bed. They were having so much fun, but oh no! One monkey fell off and bumped his head.
Mama monkey was worried, so she called the doctor. The doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
How many monkeys are left? Let’s count together: one, two, three, four. Four little monkeys are left!
Now, four little monkeys were jumping on the bed. But then, another monkey fell off and bumped his head. Oh dear!
Mama called the doctor again, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
How many monkeys are left now? Count with me: one, two, three. Three little monkeys are left!
Three little monkeys were still jumping on the bed. Guess what? One more monkey fell off and bumped his head. Poor monkey!
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
How many monkeys are left? Let’s see: one, two. Just two little monkeys are left!
Two little monkeys kept jumping on the bed. Then, one monkey fell off and bumped his head. Oh no!
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
How many monkeys are left now? Just one little monkey!
One little monkey was jumping on the bed. He fell off and bumped his head. Oh dear!
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
Great job helping to stop those monkeys from jumping on the bed! Remember to say, “No monkeys! Don’t jump on the bed!” and shake your head to remind them.
Monkey Counting Game: Let’s play a fun counting game! Gather five small toys or objects to represent the monkeys. As you listen to the story again, remove one object each time a monkey falls off the bed. Count how many are left together. Can you put them back and start over? This will help you practice counting forwards and backwards!
Draw Your Own Monkey Story: Grab some paper and crayons. Draw a picture of the monkeys jumping on the bed. How many monkeys will you draw? What happens when one falls off? Share your story with a friend or family member and count the monkeys together. This will help you use your imagination and practice storytelling!
Observation Walk: Go on a walk with a grown-up and look for things that remind you of the story. Can you find something that looks like a monkey? Or maybe something that looks like a bed? Count how many you find. This will help you connect the story to the world around you!
