♪ Four little monkeys sitting in a tree ♪ ♪ Along came a crocodile quiet as can be ♪ ♪ Hey Mr. Crocodile you can't catch me ♪ Snap.

Oh no, only three left now.

I wonder what voices we could use in this song.

We've learned about lots of different voices today, but this song has three different parts to it.

The first part about five monkey sitting in the tree.

Then you've got the crocodile coming along as quiet as can be.

And then the monkeys saying, "Hey Mr. Crocodile, you can't catch me." Which voices do you think would work well here? Great.

Let's try singing the first line, whispering the second line, and shouting the last line.

My turn, your turn.

Last one.

♪ One little monkey sitting in a tree ♪ ♪ Along came a crocodile quiet as can be ♪ ♪ Hey Mr. Crocodile you can't catch me ♪ Snap.

Oh no, poor monkeys.

Great job using your different voices.

Time to listen.

What instruments can you hear in this music? That piece of music was called "Winter" by a composer called Vivaldi.
