Simon Says

Listening/ Physical Literacy

Organization:

Players placed in front of the coach facing the coach.

Procedure:

Players follow the coach with his/her movements when they say "Coach says" so for example the coach may say, "Coach says throw your ball up and catch it" Players have to follow the coaches’ command. If the coach says, "Throw your ball up and catch it" and any players do this they do 2 jumping jacks. Coaches can take this game in many different directions - Be creative.

You can choose to start with or without the ball, depending on their engagment level of the children on your field.

Variations: Balance, sit, stand, touch head/tummy/nose/ear, throw ball up, put ball down, spin around, hop up and down, etc.

Emphasis: FUN and listening

Addtional Notes: Encourage the volunteer coaches to participate with the players. This will be helpful to players so they can see what to do. Another possibility would be to have the coach be "Simon"
