Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,

LESSON

Game: “Simon Says Song”.

Hey! Let’s play Simon Says.

When I say “Simon Says Jump, You Jump.”
When I say “Simon Says Hurrah, You Shout Hurrah.”
But, if I don’t say “Simon Says first, don’t move.”
And that’s how we play the game.
Simon says jump!

8
 Simon says touch your toes!
Simon says stomp your feet!
Wiggle your ears!
Did you wiggle your ears?
I didn’t say Simon Says.
Let’s play again.

Simon says hop like a frog!

Simon says shout hurrah!
Simon says slap your knees!
Roll your eyes!
Did you roll your eyes?
I didn’t say Simon Says.
Let’s play again.

Simon says fly like a plane!

Simons says moo like a cow!
Simon says wiggle your fingers!
Touch your nose!
Did you touch your nose?
I didn’t say Simon Says.
And, that’s how you play Simon Says!

Do you enjoy the game? What did Simon tells you to

do?

Today, we will give the meaning of words using clues

1. Sit properly.
2. Carry your learning modules.

________

What do you mean by these words: walk, carry, bring and

paper with a pen. The words sit, carry, bring and write are
