To play Simon Says, the leader of the game (Simon) gives out directions and the other players must follow them. If the leader says "Simon says jump", then all the players must jump.

Group stick games are a fun and interactive game that can be played with toddlers at camp. The game requires at least two sticks and five or more players.

As each player takes their turn counting up, they should also pick up a stick. When all players have picked up a stick, the leader must throw the first stick away and begin the game.
The leader then throws the stick across the circle to another player, and in that same moment, he or she names a body part (like a hand, arm, foot, or head). That player does the action that the leader says and all the other players must quickly follow. Everyone, including the leader, must mimic the action that is named before the leader releases the stick.

Gather the toddlers together and have them stand in two lines facing away from each other. Place a hula hoop in front of each toddler. On the count of three, both teams must move forward in their line, stepping over the hula hoops as they go. When each toddler reaches the end of their line, they must immediately turn around, go back through their own hula hoop, and then place it back in the beginning spot so the next toddler can move it.

A great way to get many toddlers to interact is by adding a call and response component to the song. Ask the toddlers to “echo” parts of the song back to you, or have them “clap” along with key words.
Encourage your toddlers to stand and move, making the song engaging and lively. As you sing, point out various elements in nature that the toddlers can recognize like the moon and stars, trees, fireflies, birds, and more.
