Answer:
The word little is circled below in the poem:

Five little monkeys jumping on a tree,
One fell down and bumped his knee.
Ah! Ah! Ah!

Four little monkeys jumping on a tree,
One fell down and bumped his knee.
Ah! Ah! Ah!

Three little monkeys jumping on a tree,
One fell down and bumped his knee.
Ah! Ah! Ah!

Two little monkeys jumping on a tree,
One fell down and bumped his knee.
Ah! Ah! Ah!

One little monkey jumping on a tree,
One fell down and bumped his knee.
Ah! Ah! Ah!

Now, no more monkeys jumping on a tree,
Each of them is holding his knee!

Question 2. Notice the rhyming words - five-alive, tree-knee in the two songs you have read. Make rhyming words for Ten by using letters from the help box.
Help box letters: h, p, m, d
Answer:
By putting the starting letters in front of "en", we make these rhyming words:
- hen (h + en)
- pen (p + en)
- men (m + en)
- den (d + en)
In simple words: Rhyming words are words that sound similar at the end. We can make new words like hen, pen, men, and den by changing the first letter.

Exam Tip: Say "ten, hen, pen, men, den" out loud to hear how they all end with the same "en" sound!
