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.
The 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 jumping on the bed. They were giggling and bouncing, but then, another monkey fell off and bumped his head.
The mama called the doctor again, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
With three little monkeys left, they kept jumping on the bed. But oh dear, one more monkey fell off and bumped his head.
The mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
Two little monkeys were still jumping on the bed. They were having a blast until one fell off and bumped his head.
The mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
Just one little monkey was left jumping on the bed. He was bouncing up and down, but then he fell off and bumped his head.
The mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
Now, there were no more monkeys jumping on the bed. They all learned that jumping on the bed can be dangerous, and it’s better to play safely on the ground.
Remember, it’s fun to play, but always be careful and listen to grown-ups when they say something is not safe. There are many fun games to play that keep everyone happy and healthy!
Monkey Safety Dance: Create a fun dance routine with the children where they pretend to be monkeys. As they dance, introduce safe play rules. For example, when you say “jump,” they can jump in place, but when you say “stop,” they freeze. This helps them understand the importance of listening to safety instructions while having fun.
Counting Monkeys Game: Use toy monkeys or draw pictures of monkeys on paper. Start with five monkeys and have the children act out the story by removing one monkey each time one “falls off the bed.” Encourage them to count the remaining monkeys aloud. This activity reinforces counting skills and helps them visualize the story.
Safe Play Exploration: Ask the children to think of other places where it’s safe to play instead of jumping on the bed. Have them draw or describe these places, such as a playground or a grassy field. Discuss why these places are safer and how they can have fun while staying safe.
