​

5 little monkeys swinging in a tree.
Teasing Mr. Crocodile –
"You can't catch me, you can't catch me,
Along comes Mr. Crocodile just as quiet as he can be.
And SNAP! (clap hands once)
(Continue song counting down until 0 little monkeys).
Along comes Mr. Crocodile, just as fat as he can be!
 

Five 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!”
 Printable characters for this rhyme
 
Tune: Skip to My Lou
What can a monkey see from a tree?
What can a monkey see from a tree?
What can a monkey see from a tree?
It can see ---------- from a tree.
 

Tune: Itsy Bitsy Spider
The itsy bitsy monkey climbed down the coconut tree
Down came a coconut and hit him on his knee - OWW
Out came a lion shaking his mighty mane - AND -
The itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the tree again.
  
 
Circle song: Child in the center of the circle chooses a movement to perform, and the other children copy it. Then the “monkey” chooses another child to take its place.
When we clap, clap, clap our hands.
The monkey claps, claps, claps his hands.
Monkey see, monkey do.
The monkey does the same as you.
 

Circle song
Here sits a monkey on a chair, chair, chair,
(Child sits on chair, with a sad face while children sing)
He’s lost all the true loves he had last year,
So rise upon your feet,
(Child gets up with a happy face and shakes the hand of the next “monkey”)
Greet the first you meet,
The happiest one I know.
 
 
Tune: Oh My Little Augustin
I was walking in the rainforest,
Rainforest, rainforest,
I was walking in the rainforest,
Last Tuesday morning.

I saw a little monkey sitting on a branch
Sitting on a branch,
Yes I saw a little monkey
And this what it said -
(Children make loud monkey noises while imitating monkeys).
 
 
 Tune: I’m a Little Teapot
I'm a little monkey in the tree,
Swinging by my tail so merrily
I can leap and fly from tree to tree
I have lots of fun as you can see.

I'm a little monkey watch me play,
Munching on bananas every day.
Lots of monkey friends to play with me,
We have so much fun up in the trees.
 
 
Three little monkeys sitting in a tree,
Eating bananas just like me.
One had a frown,
One had a grin,
One had banana all over his chin!
 
 
All around the cobbler’s bench,
The monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought it was all in fun –
POP goes the weasel!
 
 
(Give each child five bananas to use while saying this rhyme. Review combinations of 5)
​Download 5 bananas in color and bw for this activity song.

Monkey, monkey, climb up a tree,
Monkey, monkey, what do you see?
“I see five bananas it is true -  
Four for me and one for you.”
