Five little monkeys - video and lyrics

My 3-6 years old student simple love it!

I taught them this music last year and they remembered at the first day of class, after 2 months without contact to English. They sang along all the music and I was very proud of it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L6e0mwbGXw: It's a five 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed song to the tune of Hush Little Baby. Arranged and performed by A.J. Jenkins.
　

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!"

Four 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!"

Three little monkeys
jumping on the bed.
One fell off
and bumped her head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Two 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!"

One little monkey
jumping on the bed.
She fell off
and bumped her head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed


I normally use these costumes to teach them the name of  animals: http://www.papodepano.com.br/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&Itemid=89&category_id=51&vmcchk=1&Itemid=89

Characters: dog, horse, monkey, cat, alligator, bird. This company just manufactures and doesn't sell the products to general public, only to stores. But you can easily find the costumes in online stores, like: http://www.abcbrinq.com.br/brinquedos/detalhes/1518/43/arte-e-faz-de-conta/fantasias-infantis/fantasia-de-saco---macaco or www.mpbrinquedos.com.br/

It is not cheap, but it worths every penny spent on it.

Parlenda com números em inglês

Parlenda com números em inglês
One, two,
Put on my shoe.
Three, four,
Open the door.
Five, six,
Pick up the stick.
Seven, eight,
Don't be late.
Nine, ten,
A big fat hen.

Em português, temos uma equivalente:
Um, dois
Feijão com arroz
Três, quatro
Feijão no prato
Cinco, seis
molho inglês
Sete, oito,
Comer biscoito
Nove, dez,
Comer pastéis.

Meus alunos da FASE II (5-6 anos) simplesmente adoram. Ensinei a eles o sentido de cada frase, mas disse que é equivalente a que temos com os números em português. É claro que a tradução é completamente diferente.

* put on my shoe = calçar o sapato

* open the door = abrir a porta

* pick up the stick = pegar o adesivo (fica melhor do que falar pauzinho, que também é stick!)

* a big fat hen = um frango gordo.
