The document describes using the game "Simon Says" at the beginning of class to check if students are listening and ready to learn. A volunteer acts as Simon and gives instructions preceded by "Simon Says" for the other children to perform physical actions like touching their nose or shaking like a leaf. If Simon gives a command without first saying "Simon Says", any child who performs the action is eliminated from the game. The game helps engage the students and ensures they are paying attention for the upcoming lesson.

“Simon Says” Usually, we start our class with a game. We would play a short game of “Simon says” to know if they are all ears and ready in our next discussion. In the game, we would ask a volunteer as “Simon.” Then other children gather around Simon, who gives instructions by saying, “Simon says…” telling the other kids to perform a physical action. For example, "Simon says touch your nose," "Simon says shake like a leaf." Each child must perform the action. If Simon leaves out “Simon says” before giving instruction, anyone who performed the activity is out!
