Activity: Play Simon Says!
A simple, fun game to build listening, copying, and body part awareness. Children follow actions only when they hear “Simon says,” helping them focus and think before acting.
How to play
Give easy instructions like “Simon says touch your nose” or “clap your hands,” and mix in a few without “Simon says” to keep it fun.
Why it’s great:
- Boosts listening and attention
- Builds body part vocabulary
- Encourages copying and following directions
The game offers a quick, playful way to support learning through movement.
