In this video, we do the baby sign language for the song Five Little Monkeys. This song helps you and baby learn number signs. We do the numbers one, through five but you could easily expand the song as baby gets better and do ten little monkeys, or if you are doing a road trip ninety-nine little monkeys.

Welcome to Baby Sign Language dot com. This is our video tutorial for the numbers one through five. And to teach the numbers one through five we are going to learn Five Little Monkeys. Ok, here is my one little monkey!
Here we go. The numbers one through five are done with the dominant hand with your palm facing you. You go one, two, three, four, five.
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed. One fell off and bumped his head. Momma called the doctor and the doctor said, no more monkeys jumping on the bed.
Ok so we will go over that slowly.
You know the numbers. You do five, little – in this case do it like this to show that something is small. Monkey that’s easy. Jumping you make two legs jumping on a surface. On the bed, that’s easy too like you are going to sleep. Fell off, you do like you are jumping again then you fall off. Bumped his head, we used in Jack and Jill, it is the sign for hurt.
Momma called, that’s easy – telephone. Doctor – you take your dominant hand and it’s like you are taking a pulse. And the doctor said. No more monkeys, jumping on the bed.
As you know, you are probably familiar with the rhyme, you keep decreasing. So the next would be four monkeys jumping on the bed. Then keep going down until you have no more monkeys.
Thank you. I think we have reached the end of our attention span.
