10 MIN Active
Movement Game: “Super Simon Says!”
Gather in a circle. The teacher acts as “Super Simon” giving commands for responsible classroom jobs. Students practice active listening and self-control. No eliminations: anyone who moves without Simon does 3 quick helper claps and keeps playing!
8 MIN Guided
Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down Detective Scenarios
Display Slide 4. Read each real-life scenario. Students show thumbs up for responsible or thumbs down for needs practice. Guide the discussion toward restorative problem-solving: “What can we do if we spill?”
12 MIN Hands-On
Helper Choices Cut-and-Sort / Coloring Center
Transition to tables. Students complete the Helper Choices Sorting Mat by cutting and pasting daily scenarios, or color the Responsibility Star Coloring Sheet to illustrate their personal classroom helper job.
5 MIN Closing
Closing Circle: The Super Helper Pledge

“Super Simon Says!” Facilitator Script & Action Calls
Non-Elimination Play
Call out commands with clear, energetic pantomime. Remind students to listen for the magic password before moving:
1. “Simon says: Push in your chair!” Students grip imaginary chair handles and slide them forward with quiet, ninja-like control.
2. “Simon says: Click the marker caps!” Students press both fists together firmly and shout “CLICK!”
