Song Five Little Monkeys Swinging in a Tree - Cullen's Abc's

Singing songs with your child is wonderful for many reasons. The most important reason is that singing is it is fun and children love to sing. Songs are great for increasing vocabulary and pronunciation. Using hand and body movements with songs and rhymes helps preschoolers learn to control their bodies. There is even research that has shown that children who are actively involved in music do better in reading and math when they start school, are better able to focus and control their bodies, play better with others and have higher self-esteem. So sing a song now!

That's a cute little song and I'm not even a mom. Heck, I'm a teenager and I still think it's cue. I have a 3 year old cousin who loves music and singing cute songs.

I am an early years educator. It is so interesting watching your videos. I have started using some of the strategies myself. Thank you so much for all your effort.

Yes! I love singing this to my preschool class. We did it a bit differently too...

5 little monkey swinging from the tree, teasing mr. crocodile, you can't catch me. (open hands wide, one on each side of your head making it look like you're teasing) No, you can't catch me. Along came Mr. Crocodile, quiet as can be (lower your voice here.. ) and SNAPPED that monkey right out of that tree! (clap hands together loudly!)
