    hitting their head.
    The five students (monkeys) will then stand in the front in a line with their instrument.

    who didnt get to be monkeys can be involved also.)

    CONCLUSION
    Wrap Up
    This activity is a kid favorite. Children seem to love its simple rhyme and cute story line. It also is a
    good way to get kids up and moving. They love to dance around and be monkeys. It lets them get rid
    of some build up energy throughout the day.
