5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed.
{Hold up 5 fingers and bounce hand like the fingers are jumping.}
One fell off and bumped his head.
{Hold up one finger. Then pat head.}
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said:
{Hold fingers like a phone and put to face as though talking on the phone.}
“No more monkeys jumping on the bed.”
{Wag one finger back and forth r up and down.}

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed.
{Repeat actions for each verse changing the number of fingers to match the verse.}
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 his 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.
He fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said:
“No more monkeys jumping on the bed.”
