FIVE LITTLE MONKEYS (NURIA GONZÁLEZ)

 Five little monkeys is the song I have chosen for infant education. The lyrics un this rhythm give us the opportunity to interpret the word with mimic. The vocabulary include numbers, monkeys, mummy, doctor and bed. Children can agree the gestures for each word and the order they are gong to leave the interpretation, as the song is based on a countdown. To make it more motivating, they can create animal masks to use for the drama game and encourage shy students to participante. We can add activities such as silence a word each round but interpreting them. For example, “four little mmmmmm jumping on the bed; three little mmmmmm jumping on the mmmmmmmm”. One way to extend activities is saying more animals jumping on the bed or changing the relative who calls the doctor, and on the way we show children not only mummy cares about monkeys. A cultural element we can include is the way we put the fingers to show numbers in English, due to in Spanish, to indicate three, de use index, middle and ring finger, and in English we use thumb, index and middle fingers.
