Preschool Monkey Fun
Ask children which animals look and sometimes act like humans?
Talk about the characteristics of monkeys:
Monkeys are very good climbers. All monkeys can use their hands and feet for holding on to branches, but some monkeys can use their tails, too. Groups of monkeys are called troops and they travel together to find food. Monkeys eat flowers, fruits, nuts, leaves, seeds, insects, birds’ eggs, spiders, and small mammals.
Preschool Song:
Five Little Monkeys Swinging in the Tree.
Gross motor skills: Pretend to be monkeys. Jump, sit, make funny faces, scratch your head, make monkey noises.
Rhyme:
Five Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed.
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor, and the doctor said,
"that's what you get for jumping on the bed!"
Repeat with four little monkeys, three little monkeys, etc. |
