Lesson 2
 
INSTRUCT AND MODEL: 
 
Read a command and do command: 
“Touch your head.” (Students may do it along with you as they understand.) 
“Shake your arm.” 
“Lift your leg.” 
“Tap your foot.” 
PRACTICE: 
 
Have a student come to the front of the room. Read a command and have the student do 
the command. “Put your hand on your shoulder.” Invite another student to come to the 
front. Read a command – “Put your hands on your knees.” 
 
INDEPENDENT: 
Play "Teacher Says" 
This is the game "Simon Says" but using the word "teacher", or your name, instead. Go straight 
into the game (no explanations necessary) by saying "Teacher says touch your (knees)". Do the 
action and make sure everyone else follows along. Do a few more "touch your eyes, touch your 
toes", etc. Then at some point give a command without the "Teacher says" part (e.g. "Touch your 
mouth"). First time round, everyone will touch their mouth, so make it very clear that they 
shouldn‟t do this when you don‟t say "Teacher says". After a while your students will get the 
hang of it. Play the game faster and faster. When a student makes a mistake they have to sit the 
rest of the game out. The last student standing is the winner. 
Tic-Tac-Toe: 
Make 4 simple boards by pasting pictures that represent the vocabulary I want to 
focus on. Each pair of students will get a copy of all 4 boards. Just as in traditional Tic-
Tac-Toe, one student will be X and the other O. However, rather than alternating turns, it 
is the person who fist makes their mark on the appropriate picture that get the space.
