The word 'little' appears five times in the poem — once in each stanza:
1. 'Five little monkeys'
2. 'Four little monkeys'
3. 'Three little monkeys'
4. 'Two little monkeys'
5. 'One little monkey'

Circle the word 'little' in each of these five lines.

Concept: Rhyming words end with the same sound. 'Ten' ends with the sound '-en'.

Step 1: Replace the first letter of 'Ten' (T) with each letter from the help box.

- h + en = hen
- p + en = pen
- m + en = men
- d + en = den

Answer: The rhyming words for Ten are — hen, pen, men, den.

Given: A task to find a number rhyme from home.

Sample Answer (a popular number rhyme to share):

Nine, ten, a big fat hen!'

Children are encouraged to ask their parents or grandparents for a number rhyme in their home language (Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, etc.) and share it with the class.
