Songs are always a good way for kids to learn English, they are a great way of motivating the students.
ReplyDeleteThe song is simple, very suitable for the level you have chosen. They can also read the lyrics as the song is playing. I like the idea that the song works the countdown, as the first five monkeys jumping on the bed, then jumped 4, then 3 and so on. You can go to work on the song with various activities such as you propose to draw.
