Here’s a fun and easy game to play at home, borrowed from our EAC Y afterschool curriculum! This game incorporates movement and voice, as well as assuming roles through imitation and recreation.
Begin the game by saying:
Today we are going to play a game kind of like “Simon says”, but what-ever I “see” should be what you do!
How to Play:
- The game begins with the Leader (an adult) saying: “I See!” and the children respond with “What do you see?”
- The Leader then tells the children what to pretend to do.
- The children will act out the idea until the staff says, “I see.”
- Children will then stop again and respond: “What do you see?”
- The game continues. You can assign a child to be the leader who “sees”.
Suggestions:
“I see children hopping all around.” “I see a cowboy riding a horse.” “I see insects flying in the sky.”
