Five little monkeys swinging in a tree,
Teasing Mr. Alligator,
“Can’t catch me!”
Along came Mr. Alligator very quietly,
And snatched a monkey out of that tree!

Four little monkeys swinging in a tree.
Teasing Mr. Alligator,
“Can’t catch me!”
Along came Mr. Alligator very quietly,
And snatched a monkey out of that tree!

Three little monkeys swinging in a tree.
Teasing Mr. Alligator,
“Can’t catch me!”
Along came Mr. Alligator very quietly,
And snatched a monkey out of that tree!

Two little monkeys swinging in a tree.
Teasing Mr. Alligator,
“Can’t catch me!”
Along came Mr. Alligator very quietly,
And snatched a monkey out of that tree!

One little monkey swinging in a tree.
Teasing Mr. Alligator,
“Can’t catch me!”
Along came Mr. Alligator very quietly,
And snatched a monkey out of that tree!

“Missed me, missed me.”

“Now you’ve got to kiss me!!

Kids, parents and teachers could improve learning by singing every day in class and at home.

Here are the top ten reasons to SING every day!

1. When you sing your brain emits endorphins, and endorphins make you happy! Emotions are critical to learning.

2. Music is multi-sensory. The more senses you get going to the brain, the more likely the message will get there.

3. Music is powerful for prior-learning. If children are exposed to concepts while singing, it is easier for them to learn when formally introduced.

4. Music nurtures phonemic awareness (alliteration, rhyme, etc.).

5. Songs and chants are a natural way to develop oral language and auditory memory.

6. Poems and songs lay a foundation for fluency and enhance short term memory.

7. Children are able to use their imaginations and create pictures in their brains when they sing. This is an important part of reading comprehension.

8. Repetition is a key to learning. It is much more fun to repeat songs than worksheets!

9. Singing and dancing relieve stress and oxygenate the brain.

10. Through music and movement ALL children can feel successful. A “community of learners” is enhanced when teachers and children enjoy something together!
