    CLASSIC CHILDHOOD GAMES

    ESL / EFL RESOURCES Simon says...

    Activity Type Introduction


    Listening activity This classic childhood game is ideal for teaching or practicing
    imperatives.

    Language Focus Procedure


    Imperatives
    Have the students stand in front of their chairs.

    You take on the role of Simon.


    Aim
    To practice imperatives. Give commands for the students to follow by saying 'Simon says...'
    followed by an imperative, e.g. sit down, jump in the air, etc.

    Preparation The idea behind the game is to get students out by sometimes
    giving commands that don't use the phrase 'Simon says'.
    None
    If students respond to a command when you don't use the phrase,
    Level or fail to follow an instruction which includes the phrase 'Simon
    says', they are out of the game.
    Elementary
    The last student left in the game is the winner.

    Time Example:
    10 minutes
    Teacher: Simon says sit down.

    Everyone sits down.

    Teacher: Simon says touch your head.

    Everyone touches their head.

    Teacher: Stand up.

    Tim and Helen stand up. Everyone else doesn't move. Tim and
    Helen are out of the game.
