Nursery Rhyme Week – Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed
For Nursery Rhyme Week, we explored the classic rhyme “Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.”
Children engaged in a counting and matching activity using number blocks and monkey cards to retell the rhyme. They practiced early math skills by counting monkeys, sequencing the story, and identifying numbers. We also added a pretend play setup with a doctor kit and soft toy monkeys to encourage imaginative play as children acted out “the doctor said no more monkeys jumping on the bed!”
This activity supported numeracy, literacy, and dramatic play while keeping learning fun and interactive. 🐵🩺🛏️
