Felt/Magnet Board:

This week we did Five Little Monkeys Swinging From a Tree as our magnet board. For the magnet board I printed out a few clipart images from Microsoft Word. We sang the song and I acted out the words on the magnet board. The rhyme goes:


Five Little Monkeys
Swinging in a tree
Teasing Mr. Alligator
“Can’t Catch Me”
Along came Mr. Alligator
Quiet as can be……
SNAP!

Four…
Three…
Two…
One…






Craft:

This week we did a simple Monkey Paper Bag Puppet! Thanks to our Summer Volunteers the pieces were already cut out and ready to go - the kids just needed to color and glue them onto the paper bag! This craft was found in out old library files and I have searched high and low all over Google trying to find a match for the template and cannot so unfortunately I can't credit a source.
