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.

Song: Five Little Monkeys Swinging in the Tree

Five little monkeys swinging in the tree teasing Mr. Alligator can’t catch me….can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be and snapped that monkey out that tree

Four little monkeys swinging in the tree teasing Mr. Alligator can’t catch me….can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be and snapped that monkey out that tree

Three little monkeys swinging in the tree teasing Mr. Alligator can’t catch me….can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be and snapped that monkey out that tree

Two little monkeys swinging in the tree teasing Mr. Alligator can’t catch me….can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be and snapped that monkey out that tree

One little monkeys swinging in the tree teasing Mr. Alligator can’t catch me….can’t catch me
along came Mr. Alligator quiet as can be and snapped that monkey out that tree

No more monkeys swinging in the tree! And away swims Mr. Crocodile as full as he can be!
