Simon Says: Idea #257

Simon Says is a fun game for all ages. Make it even more fun and educational by using sight words. I found the idea here. This is what you do:

1. Give every student participating in the game a sight word on an index card. You can punch two holes at the top and string yard to make them into necklaces or just tape a card on each student.

2. Have the children sit in a circle or at their desks.

3. In this version of Simon Says you will call out some sight words and then give a command. The students who wear the sight word called are to do the command. For example, "Simon says and, like, the jump up." or "Simon says she, look, said spin around."

4. Make sure every student is able to participate in the game and of course, have fun!
