Activity:
Act out the story of five monkeys who fell down and bumped their heads while jumping on the bed. The
doctor told their mother not to let them jump on the bed. They decided to try hopping and then turning.
They finally solved the problem of how to play and not hurt themselves by going outside and jumping on
the lawn.
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
They all fell down and bumped their heads
Mama called the doctor; the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
So they thought and thought then said,
"Let's hop instead!"
Five little monkeys hopping on the bed
They all fell down and bumped their heads
Mama called the doctor; the doctor said,
"No more monkeys hopping on the bed!"
So they thought and thought and then said,
"Let's turn instead!"
Five little monkeys turning on the bed
They all fell down and bumped their heads
Mama called the doctor; the doctor said,
"No more monkeys turning on the bed!"
So they thought and thought and then said,
"Let's jump outside!"
Five little monkeys jumping on the lawn
They just kept jumping on and on
The doctor told mama, "There's nothing wrong
Just let those monkeys keep jumping on the lawn!"
Let them jump, jump, jump
Then all fall down!"
