Language Aims:&nbsp;

  
  
To review vocabulary for
  parts of the body.&nbsp; To review motion verbs that are used with parts of
  the body.&nbsp; To practice listening to instructions.

 

  
  


  
  


 

  
  
Time:

  
  
10-15 minutes

 

  
  


  
  


 

  
  
Preparation:&nbsp;

  
  
none.

 

  
  


  
  


 

  
  
Procedure:

  
  1.&nbsp;
  Move all of the desks to the sides of the room and have the students stand
  near the center of the room, about an arm's length apart.

  2.&nbsp;
  Tell the students your name is Simon.&nbsp; You, as Simon, give instructions
  to the students.&nbsp; They are to do what you instruct only when you begin
  the instruction with "Simon says..." (e.g. "Simon says, 'Touch
  your nose.'").&nbsp; If you begin a command differently (e.g. You only
  say, "Touch your nose.") then the students are not to obey your
  command.&nbsp; In other words, students should only respond to your command
  if you begin with "Simon says, ..."

  3.&nbsp;
  As Simon you continue giving instructions to students telling them to touch,
  close, raise, etc. different parts of the body, making sure to mix up proper
  commands (e.g. "Simon says, 'Touch your nose.'") with improper
  commands (e.g. "Touch your nose.")

  4.&nbsp; A student who
  responds to an improper command must leave the game and sit down.

  5.&nbsp;
  The last student left standing is the winner.

The degree of difficulty of this game is left
entirely up to you, the teacher.&nbsp; You can give commands slowly or
quickly.&nbsp; You can correctly or incorrectly point to parts of the body,
ensuring students listen carefully to what you say.&nbsp; And finally, if you
wish to be really tricky, you can point to parts of the body on improper
commands.

Some example commands are
listed below.

"Simon says, 'Close your eyes.'"
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Simon says, 'Scratch your head.'"
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Simon says, 'Raise your right arm.'"
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Simon says, 'Touch your toes.'"
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Simon says, 'Fold your arms.'"
