Wiggles Song
Book: Go Away Big Green Monster by Ed Emberley
Song: Five Little Monsters Jumping
FIVE little monsters jumping on the bed (everyone jumps)
One fell off and bumped his head; (point to head)
Mother called the doctor (make pretend phone with hand)
And the doctor said:
No more monsters jumping on the bed. (shake finger)
FOUR little monsters jumping on the bed…..
THREE little monsters jumping on the bed…..
TWO little monsters jumping on the bed…..
ONE little monster jumping on the bed
He fell off and bumped his head;
Mother called the doctor
And the doctor said:
No more monsters jumping on the bed! (everyone falls down to ground)
