I need a teaching song!
 

Hello there,

I need a teaching song or a game to teach the classroom commands.My students love funny songs and games so I always teach English through songs, games and a variety of activities.That �s why I take pleasure in the thing what i do.
 
Is there anyone having any different idea on teaching classroom commands in a effective way ? Please share it with me.
 
Thanks in advance.

I usually play "Simon says..."
 
E.g. 
*When the teacher says "Simon" then all the kids do the action
*but if the teacher doesn �t include "Simon" then they shouldn �t do the action
*if someone does they �re out.
*You continue the game until only 1 person is left (the winner).
*I do all the actions too, even the one �s without "Simon" - that way kids have to listen very carefully!
 
E.g.
Simon says sit down!
Simon says open your books!
Simon says close your books!
Stand up!  (All the kids that stand up are out)
 
and so you continue the gameSmile with the remaining students
