Ocean Says

• This Ocean Animal "Simon Says" game requires an open space and at least 3 players to play! 

​

• To begin, decide who will be the "Ocean" (aka Simon) - this person will be the one telling the other players how to move.

​

• Go over the various ocean animals with the players and decide as a group what the movements for each will be OR use the list below! 

  • Jellyfish: A jellyfish uses the top of it (or the bell) to push water and move! - Put your arms above you in a circle, push them down and jump up with your legs. *To simplify this movement, ask children to jump up and down.​

  • Blue Whale: Blue whales are the largest ocean creatures! Place your hands on a friends shoulders and "swim" around!

  • Shark: Sharks swim side to side and can make BIG bites! Move your body side to side (standing still or moving) and make a BIG clapping motion.

  • Dolphin: Dolphins curve their bodies when they move in the water! Stand up and curve over, (about to your knees) and jump!

  • Octopus: An octopus can swim or crawl along the bottom of the ocean. Get down on your hands and knees and crawl around in slow motion (like your tentacles are getting stuck)!

  • Crab: Crabs like to move sideways! Squat down and move sideways back and forth while also making a "chomping motion" with your hands!
