說到英語兒童歌曲,Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed絕對可以算是家喻戶曉的。
這個視頻中是男聲唱的,凌哥個人覺得唱得一般,不過,這動畫是非常能顯示含義的。
還是下面這個童謠吟唱聽著舒服,節奏感也很強。
先是吟唱,然後是歌曲。

有創意的作者給這個chant添加了頭和尾,使得故事性更加完整。
"It's time for bed,"said mama.
So five little monkeys washed their faces, burshed their teeth, and put their pj's on.
They kissed their mama and said,"Good night."
But guess what happened then...
Five little monkeys jumped on the bed.
One fell off and bumped her head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
Four little monkeys jumped on the bed.
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
Three little monkeys jumped on the bed.
One fell off and bumped her head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
Two little monkeys jumped on the bed.
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
One little monkey jumped on the bed.
One fell off and bumped her head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said:
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"
So one by one they fell asleep each having the same wonderful dream that in the morning their mama had bought them the BIGGEST trampoline!

還有作者將整個故事用歌曲唱出來了,變成了唱出來故事:
或者,也可以可以理解成是一個少兒版的歌劇啦。
【你可能想不到的第三件事情】
不僅僅是little monkeys,水果們也來湊熱鬧啦!
如果你正在教學水果名詞,就可以和孩子們一起唱《Five Little Fruits Jumping on the Bed》。有7種fruits,你的孩子能找出來嗎?

【你可能想不到的第五件事情】
Five Little Monkeys 有一系列的繪本的。
下面是頁面的實例,以便各位微友確定是否適合自己的孩子的英語水平:
就好像是動畫片《貓和老鼠》,儘管主要角色就是這兩隻動物,但是配合不同的其他人物和場景,情節就可以很豐富。
Eileen Christelow創作的《Five Little Monkeys》系列繪本,就像《鼴鼠系列》、《朵拉系列》一樣,深受孩子們的喜歡。
每一個故事都很精彩,故事情節幽默有趣,語句簡單押韻,句型和段落多次重複,絕對是英文親子閱讀的好選擇,特別推薦給剛接觸原版書的2-7歲的小朋友。
如果是想要用於學校繪本教學,因為詞彙量比較多,凌哥個人覺得可以在五六年級的課堂上使用。
