My preschoolers always love this song!
Monkey See, Monkey Do is a copy-cat song. I like to use a sock monkey or a monkey puppet as a prop with this song so that the monkey can demonstrate the actions.
I use this song in my Five Little Monkeys lesson plan and it goes along perfectly with that theme.
Here are the lyrics:
The monkey clap, clap, claps his hands,
The monkey clap, clap, claps his hands,
Monkey see, monkey do,
The monkey does what you can do!
You can ask the kids for suggestions of other actions that they’d like to see the monkey try and of course, the kids have to copy the monkey on each of them. It’s always fun to see what ideas kids have.
