Give some instructions to the children (e.g. Please open your books. Please stand up. Please touch the door.). Mime or gesture to help them guess what to do. The children can then take turns giving similar instructions to the rest of the class. Give an instruction without using the word please (e.g. Open the door.). Indicate that they shouldn t move. Then say, Please open the door. and indicate that they should carry out the instruction. Continue playing the game. They carry out the instructions that are preceded by please but must not move if there is no please . Children can be eliminated from the game if they make a mistake. The last child to carry out an instruction can also be eliminated.
