Lesson Procedure
Game: Simon Says
• Tell students that they are going to play a game called ‘Simon Says’.
• Tell students that they will hear instructions for actions, e.g. ‘sit down’, ‘stand up’, etc.
• Tell students that if you say: ‘Simon Says’ BEFORE an action they must do the action.
E.g. ‘Simon says, left hand up’. Students must raise their hand.
• If you do NOT say: ‘Simon Says’ before the action, then students must NOT do the
action.
• If a student does the wrong action or does the action without hearing ‘Simon Says’
then he/she is out of the game and must sit down.
• After students have the idea of the game, a student may be chosen to be ‘Simon’ and
give the instructions to the class.
• The last student to remain standing is the winner.
• Following are some examples for instructions:
(Simon says) stand up.
(Simon says) sit down.
(Simon says) left hand up/down.
(Simon says) right hand up/down.
(Simon says) left foot up/down.
(Simon says) right foot up/down.
Sing songs with students and do the actions.
