ESL game: Simon Says - Short Lesson
By:lee
A party game that works well with English students as a way of practising listening to and understanding commands. The teacher says a number of simple commands, such as, ‘Put your hands on your head’, ‘Stand on one leg’ or ‘Start humming’, and the students have to do what you say – but only if you have prefaced the command with ‘Simon says...’. If you don’t say ‘Simon says...’ and the student follows the command, they are out, and the game resumes until there is a winner.
