Creative play has so many benefits on children’s minds and bodies and movement is a huge part of this. Our PE Coordinator Sasha Flynn has shared her own bonfire night twist on the classic game Simon Says that will boost your child’s energy, coordination, balance and instruction following skills. Call out the below bonfire night phrases and everyone must follow it with the correct action:  

Catherine Wheel- Everyone must spin around 5 times  

Bonfire- Everyone must wiggle their fingers like a flame  

Rocket- Everyone must crouch down as low as they can and then jump up like a rocket with their arms in the air  

Bang- Everyone must clap their hands together and shout ‘bang!’  

Tip! Play music in the background and do the actions along with the beat
