[Game] Simon Says- the Arabish Way

This one is great for circle times or with a few children rather than one-on-one.

I like to use it after singing These Chicks/( هالصيصان). I give all the kids shakers and they shake along with the book.  Then after the story I say “put these on your [part of the body here].

I also like to add:

go fast – bi-surr-‘aa – and have the kids shake loudly

slow – bu-Tee’ – to slow them down

go fast again and then end with a sudden (stop!) – wa’-foo

This pdf of Simon Says phrases will help you do a simple version.
