I'm teaching three-year-old kids, and we are starting number 2. I think the fingerplay called "the little monkeys" is suitable for this, but I don't know how to do Flash Cards related to this fingerplay. Can you help me? Where can I look for pictures? Also, if you know otrher songs, fingerplays, etc suitables for numbers teaching, I will be thankful.
Thank you, and sorry if my English is not very well.

as well as other singing games etc

There is also a song package for Five Little Monkeys. http://www.pamseslclassroom.com/Song_Packages
A song package has flash cards along with the mp3 of the song, a lesson plan with extension activities and worksheets as well as a lyric sheet with instructions for the actions.
The song package can be imimediately downloaded to your computor for $2.00. The flashcards etc are all in PDF format for you to print out and the mp3 can be burnt onto a cd for classroom use.

I hope these resources help you out with your students.
