Animated Chant: 5 Little Monkeys Swinging VI

This tool is designed for educators seeking innovative ways to fusion of fun with learning. It is particularly beneficial to kindergarteners, first graders, and second graders—though preschoolers are certainly not left behind.

The resource revolves around an interactive chant based on the beloved children's song 5 Little Monkeys Swinging. It features 11 animated PowerPoint slides that coordinate with lyrics. Teachers can read each line of the chant up until a star icon appears. When clicked, a corresponding animation will appear as an engaging visual aid that facilitates comprehension.

Educational Opportunities

• The Animated Chant allows students to practice counting by following along with lively scenes depicting various numbers of monkeys swinging.
• This combination of audio-visual experience also caters proficiently for children experiencing visual impairment challenges.
• To support these students fully grasping its content, high contrast graphics and text have been incorporated into it—in addition to sound effects echoing the concepts shared therein in order to enrich their understanding too.

Fully Accessible Design

The PowerPoint can be projected on 'big screens' such as interactive whiteboards or large screen TVs and 'small screens' including computer monitors or tablets with all animations and sound effects intact. Further accessibility comes from multi-modal delivery options — hence teachers can choose between whole group demonstration or small group activity modes depending on class needs—and even use it as engaging homework assignments!
