Here's the lyrics for the song we sang in Spanish For Preschoolers today:
Cinco monitos sentados alli. (Show five fingers)
Cinco monitos mirandome a mi. (Point to your eye)
De los cinco monitos uno escapo. (Put down one finger)
Cuantos monitos quedo?
Cuatro!
* Repeat, counting down: cuatro, tres, dos, uno when you have "ninguno" (none left) then say "Adios monos!"
It's fun to do with finger puppets. I found some free printable monkey finger puppets at the dltk website (this is a great resource for educational craft btw).
We learned this song at Provo City Library's Spanish Storytime. We love going on Fridays!

Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI tried it out loud and it DOES have a good rhythm. Reminds me of the "Five little monkeys" rhyme and it looks like the dltk plans are for that one, actually.
