    1 - Introduction

    Welcome to the lesson! Today, we are going to have a lot of fun with unplugged activities. We will start with a game of Simon Says to practice following instructions. Then, we will do a sequencing activity where we will arrange pictures of daily events in the correct order. Lastly, we will complete a 'First/Then' worksheet where we will think about what comes next after a certain activity. These activities will help us understand the importance of giving clear instructions and putting them in the right order, just like in coding. Let's get started!

    2 - Simon Says

    Explain to the students that they will play a game of Simon Says to practice following instructions.

    Remind students that they should only follow a command if it starts with "Simon says." (You can choose to make this game knockout style or just for fun).

    Play a few rounds, starting with simple commands like "Simon says touch your nose" or "Simon says jump." (Check the teacher notes for more Simon Says commands)

    Observe and ensure students understand the importance of listening to and following commands.

    3 - Sequencing

    Complete the following sequencing activity on your IWB.

    This activity will involve showing pictures of daily events.

    Ask the students to come up and drag the pictures into the correct sequence, starting with what happens first and ending with what happens last.
