Simon Says is a total physical response activity, that improves listening skills AND helps children to remember language more easily.If you are new to the game, this is how it works.All the children up.The teacher says what the children should do and starts each sentence with SIMON SAYS.If the teacher omits SIMONS SAYS, the children should stand still and NOT do the action.If they still do the action, then they are out.For the first round I always say SIMON SAYS. This gives the children the chance to familiarise themselves with the language and actions.After a few rounds it is really hard to catch them out! At this point I get faster and faster.I find it handy to have a set of cards and actions to fall back on. Otherwise I find myself repeating the same 4/5 phrases and forget about the rest.If you like these actions, they come up in my busy Easter scene and Easter poem too.I hope you have fun learning English with Brown Owl!

This poem accompanies my busy spring/Easter scene picture and is a great way to revise/introduce and practise some key vocabulary.Why not start off my showing the I-Spy picture for ten seconds and then asking the children what they can remember? This is a great method for finding out what they already know AND it gets them really focussed.The poem starts with:Spring is here. The sun is out.The Easter Bunny is hopping about.The poem depicts how we typically portray spring and Easter time to young children. It also includes some of your favourite characters from my rhyming picture book series 'Read and Rhyme with Brown Owl'.I would introduce the poem with lots of actions to aid comprehension. I have created a instagram.com/reel/C4lNRCaMokZ/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">reel to show you how I would do it.I would then read it a second time and see if the children can find where each verse occurs in the picture (they can have their own b&w copy on their desks).You could even do a colour dictation at this point too, e.g. Can you see the Easter basket? Colour it brown!There are gap fill worksheets and a cut & stick activity to accompany the poem too.I have included a full-colour and black and white version of the full illustration.Story WalkThe story walk uses the same language and illustrations as the poem. Once the children are familiar with the vocabulary, they read the words/sentences on their worksheet, find the corresponding picture hidden in the classroom, write down the letter on it and then work out the hidden message.I also have included a page of teacher's tips with further ideas.I hope you have fun learning English with Brown Owl!For more information about Brown Owl and my series of rhyming picture books, please visit: www.readandrhyme.at
