Five Little Monkeys


This video is perfect to sing with your preschools, I think that having a visual aide when singing some songs gets the children to pay more attention and participate. This song would get any child wanting to sing and move. Having this option would be great when students get to sing in class rather then just singing to a CD.

I think your youtube video is very cute and an excellent idea for preschoolers. It is a great visual for the children and can help the children with their numbers. While watching the video the children are able to understand the concept of removing a monkey and the number of monkeys decreases on the bed. I also think that this video is a great way for children to learn the movements to the words and put them together while they are singing the song. I think this is a great way to engage all children in the classroom into the lesson being taught. I totally agree with you when you mentioned that this is an excellent way to get children to pay attention and participate. All children love to sings and move around so why not add a video that goes along with the song!! I really liked your video and thought it was a great idea!

This youtube video is perfect for not only preschools but also early elementary children. Children enjoy singing and if this fits into the curriculum then I see no problem why the video can not be used in the classroom. The children will enjoy it because it does have music in the video and most children like to sing and be silly at a young age.

I really thought your video was very adorable, and appropriate for pre-school age children. I think that it is a great way to add another element of teaching to what you could already do in the classroom. This gives the children a visual aid, which when teaching numbers or any kind of math it can be very beneficial. I think this is a cute way to hold children's attention and engage them in learning. Very cute video! :)
