Teacher
T says: 'Let's play Simon Says! When I say Simon says, do it. If I don't say Simon says, don't do it.' T models with 'Simon says touch your nose.'
Pupils
Ss stand up and listen to the rules, then do the first command together with T.
Teacher
T gives 6–8 commands, such as 'Simon says touch your ears', 'Touch your hand' (no Simon says), 'Simon says touch your face'. T chooses a few Ss to lead the game.
Pupils
Ss follow the commands with 'Simon says' and stay still for commands without it. Ss who make mistakes sit down for one turn.
Teacher
T asks: 'What did you touch?' and nods to a few Ss.
Pupils
Ss answer, for example: 'I touched my nose.' / 'I touched my ears.'
Teacher
T praises the class and says: 'Today we will learn two new words, hair and mouth, and the verbs touch and open.' T writes the title on the board.
Pupils
Ss listen and copy the title into their notebooks.
