For teaching parts of the body and advanced commands, Simon Says is fun to work with the energy that Infantil kids have. You can get creative, and they love utilizing what they've learned while thinking on their feet! This promotes their listening skills and how to identify body parts.
How to play (adapted from: https://www.education.com/activity/article/simon/)
1. Invite the children to stand in a space with enough between each other.
2. Explain that she or he should do as you say only when the command is preceded by the words “Simon says.”
3. Issue commands like those here, sometimes saying ‘Simon says,” and sometimes not.
Raise your arms.
Touch your toes.
Wiggle your nose.
Bend and touch your knees.
Make a funny face.
Touch your head.
Touch your shoulders
Stand on one foot.
Blink your eyes.
Stand up tall.
Pucker up your lips.
Put hands on hips.
Reach for the sky.
Give yourself a hug!
4. If the child obeys a command not preceded by “Simon says,” they sit out of the game.
5. As the child becomes more adept at this game, increase the challenge by increasing the tempo at which you call out the commands. Expect lots of giggles!
