5 Days of Monkey Mayhem

5 Days till WorldCon…

Five Little Monkeys

When I was living in Japan, I’d sometimes visit kindergartens to teach English.  I usually taught 4 and 5-year-olds in classes of about 30 students.

I’d teach them simple vocabulary (animals, numbers, food, etc). and then we’d play games where they had to use the vocabulary.  I also read story books in English.  One of the books the children liked best was Five Little Monkeys.

The students that won the games would get to be the monkeys.  They had fun jumping up and down all over the classroom.  One by one they’d have to fall down.
