Starting with a game of 'Simon Says', you'll then transition to interactive whiteboard games focusing on fruit, animals, numbers, and letters. Afterwards, students will complete a pattern worksheet independently, with a review session to conclude the lesson.

    1 - Simon Says

    Introduce the game 'Simon Says' to the students. Explain that this game is about listening carefully and these are the rules:

    1. Only perform actions that begin with "Simon says"
    2. Ignore commands that don't start with "Simon says"

    Remind the students that they should only perform the action if the command starts with 'Simon says'. For example, if you say 'Simon says touch your nose', they should touch their nose. But if you just say 'Touch your nose' without 'Simon says' at the beginning, they should not do the action.

    2 - Digital Pattern game

    Play the following game on the interactive whiteboard.

    The aim of the game is to encourage the students to notice patterns and sequences.

    3 - Data Detectives (Animals)

    Now try it with animals!
