Activity
You can play this game
like “Simon says.” but
simply replace the
name “Simon” with
“Mother.”

“Mother Says” has a very
simple rule. If a child is
given a command and the
teacher does not preface it
with “Mother Says”,
children must ignore it. If
they mistakenly follow it
they are eliminated from
the game. Continue until
only one child remains.

Variation
Instead of playing “Simon
says”, play a game of
“Mother May I?”
One person (it could be
Mom) stands facing away
from a line of kids. She
then chooses a child (at
random, or in order), and
announces a direction.

These follow a pattern,
such as, “Brian, you may
take (NUMBER) “giant
steps”
forward/backward.” The
child responds with
“Mother may I?” Mom
then states “Yes” or
“No”, depending on her
whim, and the child
complies.

If the child forgets to
ask “Mother may I?”
he/she goes back to
the starting line. First
one to touch Mother
wins.

“Banana steps”-laying

and
