Developing leadership skills and listening attentively and understanding simple instructions. Helps with responding appropriately to instructions and develops self-efficacy as children learn to control their bodies in different situations.
One child is chosen as 'Simon' or 'Simone' and any others are the players.
Standing in front of the group, Simon tells the players what they must do. For example, “Simon says, ‘tap your fingers’” or “Simon says, ‘touch your nose”.
Everyone else should follow the instruction given. However, they must only obey commands that begin with the words "Simon says".
If Simon says, “Simon says, ‘touch your toes”, then everyone must touch their toes. But if Simon simply says “jump” without first saying “Simon says”, the players should not jump. The players that do jump are out.
Follow the instructions and stay in the game for as long as possible.
The last player standing wins and becomes the next Simon or gets to choose who the next Simon should be. Repeat the game until everyone gets a turn to be Simon.
