Play Simon Says in which students follow simple instructions, beginning with one-step instructions and working up to two-step instructions.  Divide students into small groups with a student from each Developmental level (as available). Have the groups discuss a topic relevant to them (whether the playground should be closed when it rains, which lunch option is the best, etc.). Assign the developing student the job of “deputy,” whose job is to make sure the other students are doing their job.
