I love to simplify songs so ALL my kids can participate. This version of Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed uses the repetitive sentence, Five Monkeys Jumping (adjective + noun + verb). Great for practicing numbers as well as expanding utterances.

Children with developmental delays, apraxia, autism, Down syndrome, and individuals using augmentative devices would benefit from these simplified illustrations and vocabulary.
