Five Little Monkeys
This playful counting song helps children practice counting backwards from five to one while exploring common everyday safety rules. Through relatable scenarios such as jumping on the bed or running on the road, children begin to understand the possible consequences of unsafe actions and the importance of listening to trusted adults. The song gently reinforces safe choices and responsible behavior in a clear, memorable and child friendly way.
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 climbing on a chair.
One slipped off and hurt her hand.
Papa called the doctor and the doctor said,
“No more monkeys climbing on the chair!”
Three little monkeys running on the road
One tripped down and scraped his foot.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
“No more monkeys running on the road!”
Two little monkeys touching things hot.
One got burned, and cried a lot.
Papa called the doctor and the doctor said,
“No more monkeys touching things hot!”
One little monkey chewing on a toy.
He coughed and coughed and felt no joy!
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
“No more monkeys chewing on a toy!”
Now little monkeys doing things safe.
Mama and Papa know the way.
Always listen to what they say,
So we can have fun and stay safe
