MONKEY IN MY BACKPACK

There's a monkey in my backpack
     and he's trying to get out.
There's a monkey in my backpack
     and he's wiggling all about.
There's a monkey in my backpack
    and he's jumping all about.
There's a monkey in my backpack.
    Can you hear him shout?
     LET ME OUT!


      This poem can be read in two voices with everyone joining together on the last line.  Young children can act out the jumping and wiggling.  Everyone can join together in shouting the last line.  Can you write your own poem today about what you put in your backpack?  Have fun.  Here's wishing you a GREAT weekend.
