Five Little Monkeys Storybook Music Lesson Plan (PreK - 2)

Need a no-prep lesson plan to get your preschoolers moving and grooving to music?

This is a fun movement-based music preschool lesson plan based on the story Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed. It was designed for PreK and Kindergarten-aged kids, but lower elementary kids love these activities too!

My musical lesson plans teach basic musical concepts such as rhythm, singing, and movement, but are also great for developing coordination, gross and fine motor skills, and literacy skills. These lesson plans can be used as is or modified as needed, for toddlers, preschoolers, early elementary (kindergarten, first and second grade), and homeschool co-ops.

This easy-to-teach lesson plan requires simple materials - generally egg shakers, scarves, a Bluetooth speaker, and an optional piano, keyboard, ukulele, or guitar. All songs can also be sung a capella if you don't play an instrument. You'll get activities themed for the lesson plan and instructions on how they should be performed, a complete list of songs to add to your playlist and any sheet music needed, complete with chords and notation. You can teach this lesson plan without an extensive musical background yourself!
