It’s ‘Simon Says’ with a spin!

SUPER WHY SAYS...

HOT!

Directions:1. One player is chosen to be the leader, ‘Super Why’.

2. Super Why will say a word from one of the columns in the list of words or choose his own word, and the other players should act out the OPPOSITE of that word. (For example: if the leader says “SUPER WHY SAYS... HOT!”, then everyone could shiver or act ‘COLD’.)

3. But, if the leader doesn’t say “Super Why says” before the chosen word, anyone who acts out the opposite word is out and should sit down for the rest of the game.

4. The winner of the game is the last one standing. That person becomes the next Super Why.

Learning benefits: Players will practice their creative thinking, learn new words, see how opposite words look in action, and sharpen their listening skills.

Fun with one:

This is a fun game to play with just one child, as well, to encourage their comprehension of ‘opposites’.
