Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

This book is a very fun read aloud because it is repetitive and a sing-a-long. It is about five little monkeys who are jumping on a bed and one by one they fall off. Their mother tells them each time to stop jumping on the bed, but they don’t listen. Soon, they have all fallen off and gotten

hurt. Finally their mother tucks them all in and goes to her room, where she, ironically enough, starts jumping on her bed.

I used to love reading this book when I was a child because it was easy to memorize since it is so repetitive. I loved singing the song with my mom as we read it. It is just a fun and very memorable book that I can’t wait to read to my children and students one day.

In the classroom, you could use this book to teach the students how to count down from five. You could also teach them the importance of listening to instructions and discuss the consequences of not doing so.

This story is about a family who happen to be monkeys. Mama has a bedtime routine in place that begins with taking baths, putting on pajamas, and even brushing their teeth just as most human children do. Once the monkeys have been put to bed and mama leaves the room, they take advantage and start

jumping on the bed. One by one, they eventually get hurt.

I remember this story as a song that I sang in Kindergarten. At the time, I did not think of it as a counting song. I was living through the monkeys jumping on the bed since my brothers and I were never allowed to jump on the beds!

As a classroom extension I would teach the students the song that I knew growing up and we would start counting at 10 little monkeys instead of 5. Another idea would be to have the students make a storyboard of their bedtime routine at home. They would draw a picture then put a caption underneath to tell us what was happening.

This is a classic. It is a cute sing along book, and kids love that. it also could help with subtraction. this would be good for K-2ND grade.

K-3. This book is about 5 little mischievious monkeys that are constantly being told by their mother not to jump on the bed because they one-by-one fall off and bump their heads. It's also a fun little chant that students will be able to participate in and pick up pretty easily.

This is a cute story with an important message, don't jump on the bed. This can also be used for math because it counts down from five till three are no more little monkeys. This could also be used for interactive writing because of the repeating sentences, and similar sentences.

Fun counting book. Only complaint is that it is stereotypically gendered -- the doctor is a man, of course. The parent is a mom. The monkeys are more boys than girls. The girls are all wearing little girlie outfits.

All that said, I loved the last page -- "Thank goodness!" said the mama. "Now I can

go to bed!" and then she's dancing on the bed.

This book is great to read with young students. It is funny and easy to read.This story teaches them a valuable lesson to learn from their mistakes. It also teaches them how to subtract, this would be great to incorporate in your math lessons.

So far I like this book more than my kids (14 months). I really enjoy the pictures and think it's a fun rhyme that I was already familiar with. The kiddos aren't as engaged in it as they are with other books, I'm not sure why. But I think it will grow on them.

Most people know the rhyme about monkeys jumping on the bed, right?

Boy, those monkeys never learn, do they? Love the punchline at the end, where Mama jumps on the bed :)

This is another great math book to help teach the concept of addition and subtraction. All students love this book because it has monkeys jumping on the bed. This is a fun interactive book for children to enjoy.

Great rhyming story/song of a Mother getting increasingly frustrated as her little monkeys jump on the bed and fall off and hit their head.

Summary: This book is about 5 little monkies that each fall off the bed and are told by the doctor to stop jumping on the bed. It ends with the monkies all going to sleep and the mother jumping on the bed.

Personal Reaction: I enjoy this book because my 3 year old can read it with me. He has just

started reading by looking at the pictures and memorizing so he gets so excited and has so much character when reading. This just puts the joy in teaching a child how to read.

Classroom Extentions:
1) Use as an extention to a subtraction worksheet.
2) Journal about what happens in school when we break the rules.

and bump their heads. Then all the little monkeys go to bed and mama monkey jumps on the bed.

Personal reaction: This is a great book for younger children, so that they can learn that there are consquences for their actions. The repetition is good, and also the repetition keeps the students involved in the book if the reader has the students say the phrase when it comes up in the book.

Classroom extensions: 1. I can use this book when teaching students to subtract from 5. 2. I can use this book when teaching students about following rules and directions to keep students from getting hurt.

Five Monkeys Jumping on the Bed is a repetitive story about monkeys jumping on the bed and it counts down from five monkeys to one until they have all fallen off the bed.

This is one of my all time favorite children's books. It is repetitve and I like how the children can read it with me. I also

love how it becomes more of a song than just a read aloud book.

In the classroom this book can be used to begin early learning of basic counting. I would also use this book in a safety lesson such as the need for following rules and directions to keep fom getting hurt.

I liked this book for two reasons. First, I liked the way that the story was written. The story was engaging because it rhymed and was very catch, while flowing at a good pace. An example of this is how the story repeats itself by saying “no more monkeys jumping on the bed!” This becomes

expected each time one falls off the bed. A second reason I liked the story was because of the illustrations. One example of an illustration I liked was of the monkeys’ faces when they were getting yelled at for jumping on the bed. This showed the monkeys as sad and scared, which was different from when they were misbehaving. Another example I liked was at the end when the illustration showed the mom jumping on the bed. I thought this was a good illustration because she looked happy and was having fun when she told her children that it was not okay to jump on the bed. The big idea of this story was for entertainment. Also, a big idea could be reasons why it is a bad idea to jump on the bed and how you could get hurt from it.

the doctor five times, to which each time he said “No more monkeys jumping on the bed!”, they all fell fast asleep in their bed, giving mama time to jump on her own bed. This is a silly book, but I think it is a good read to show kids that they can have a little fun but if they do stuff that they are not supposed to do they could get hurt.
