Instructions
1. Use a favorite puppet as a vehicle for giving children instructions for body
awareness or spatial relationships.
2. Provide commands such as, "Bo-Bo the Monkey says, "Touch your toes.' Bo-
Bo says, "Reach up high, bend down low, spin around, touch your back,
stand on one foot.'"
3. This game differs from Simon Says in that there are no trick commands and
nobody makes a mistake and loses the game.
More to do
Invite a child to use the puppet and give commands to the rest of the children.
Use this time to observe who has trouble following directions.
