As the monkeys decrease in number, the story teaches children to count backwards from five to one while emphasizing the importance of safety during play. Additionally, the lesson encourages engagement through singing the “Five Little Monkeys” song, making learning fun and interactive.

Five Little Monkeys

Once upon a time, there were five little monkeys who loved to jump on the bed. They were having so much fun, but then something happened!

Five Monkeys

Five little monkeys were jumping on the bed. 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!”

Four Monkeys

Now there were four little monkeys jumping on the bed. One more fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the doctor again, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”

Three Monkeys

Then there were three little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”

Two Monkeys

Next, two little monkeys were jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”

One Monkey

Finally, there was one little monkey jumping on the bed. He fell off and bumped his head. Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said, “Put those monkeys right to bed. No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”

Learning Fun

Did you know that this story helps us learn to count backwards? We start with five and go all the way down to one. Let’s count together: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

It’s also important to remember to be safe when playing. Jumping on the bed can be fun, but it’s better to jump on the ground or a trampoline where it’s safer.

Let’s Sing!

Try singing the “Five Little Monkeys” song with your friends or family. It’s a fun way to practice counting and have a good time!

  • Why do you think the monkeys kept jumping on the bed even after the doctor said not to? Have you ever done something fun even when you were told to be careful?
  • Can you think of other safe places where you can jump and play without getting hurt? What are some of your favorite activities to do there?
  • How does counting backwards from five to one help you in other activities or games you play? Can you think of a time when you used counting in a fun way?
  1. Monkey Counting Game: Gather five small toys or stuffed animals to represent the monkeys. Place them on a table or a safe surface. As you recite the story, remove one monkey each time one “falls off” the bed. Count how many monkeys are left each time. This will help you practice counting backwards from five to one. Can you think of other things you can count backwards with, like apples or blocks?

  2. Safe Jumping Activity: Find a safe place to jump, like a soft mat or a trampoline. Count how many jumps you can do in a row. Try jumping while counting backwards from five to one. Remember, it’s important to be safe while having fun! Can you think of other safe ways to play and jump?

  3. Draw Your Own Monkey Story: Use paper and crayons to draw your own version of the “Five Little Monkeys” story. How many monkeys will you start with? What happens to them? Share your story with a friend or family member and practice counting backwards as you tell it. What other animals could you use in your story?
