Set Up

No set up required.

How to Play

  • To begin, the leader says the words “I See, I See” and the players freeze. After the players freeze, they will ask the leader, “What do you see?”
  • The leader will then say, “I See ______.”
  • Whatever the leader says, the players act out in the designated space.
  • An example dialogue/sequence for the game:
    • Leader: “I See, I See.”
    • Players: “What do you see?”
    • Leader: “I see a superhero flying in the sky!”
    • Players then act like superheroes flying in the sky.
  • After the players have successfully acted, the leader will then repeat the phrase, “I See, I See” and the game will continue with new actions.

Variations

  • Call out vocabulary words, focus on gross motor skills, or practice numbers and grouping.
  • Use the game to reinforce learning a new language.
  • Consider choosing motions that involve mobility aids or are completed in a group.
  • For older students: Use references to pop culture as well as a focus on an academic application.
