About this template

This virtual edition of the classic game makes for a fun and interactive classroom activity. It engages students with movement and creativity while reinforcing listening and following directions.

How it works

Lead a classic game of "Simon Says" with four different categories displayed across four separate screens. Each category focuses on a different type of action:

1. Stretching Movements

Students perform simple stretching exercises, such as "Simon says, reach for the sky!" or "Simon says, touch your toes!"

This category promotes flexibility and relaxation.

2. Animal Movements

Students mimic movements of different animals, such as "Simon says, hop like a bunny!" or "Simon says, flap your wings like a bird!"

This category helps students get active and use their imagination.

3. Making Funny Faces

Students follow commands to make various funny faces, such as "Simon says, puff out your cheeks!" or "Simon says, stick out your tongue!"

This category encourages students to be silly and expressive.

4. Miming Actions

Students mime everyday actions without making a sound, such as "Simon says, pretend to brush your teeth!" or "Simon says, act like you're riding a bike!"

This category enhances creativity and coordination.
