Fingerplay: Itsy Bitsy Monkey 

The itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the coconut tree  [Have hands climb.] 
Down came a coconut that bopped him on the knee  [Drop fist from over head to hit yourself on the knee.] 
Along came his Mama, who kissed away the pain  [Kiss your fist.] 
Then the itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the tree again  [Climb hands again -having kids stretch as high as they can reach.
