“Grumpy Monkey Party Time!” by Suzanne Lang
“Grumpy Monkey Says No!” by Suzanne Lang
Five Little Monkeys
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed (hold up 5 fingers)
One fell off and bumped his head (tap head)
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said (phone to eat)
“No more monkeys jumping on the bed!” (shake finger)
(count down)
If You’re Happy & You Know It
If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands
If you’re happy and you know it then your face will surely show it
If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands
If you’re angry and you know it stomp your feet…
If you’re sad and you know it cry boo-hoo…
If you’re grumpy and you know it yell NO…
If you’re excited and you know it shout hooray…
(You can also ask the kids for some suggestions)
Monkey Monkey Turn Around
Monkey, monkey, turn around (turn around)
Monkey, monkey, touch the ground (touch the ground)
Monkey, monkey, dance on your toes (dance on tip toes)
Monkey, monkey, touch your nose (touch your nose)
Monkey, monkey, give a little clap (clap)
Monkey, monkey, take a nap (lay head on hands like sleeping)
Old MacDonald Felt So Glad
Old MacDonald Felt So Glad
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA
And when he’s glad he sounds like this:
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA
With a HA-HA here and a HA-HA there
Here a HA, there a HA everywhere a HA-HA
Old MacDonald felt so glad.
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA
Repeat this, substituting the following emotions and sounds:
Grumpy = NO NO NO NO NO
Sad = Boo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Silly = Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah
This song can easily be turned into a flannel board!
