Ask your child to only follow the instructions if they hear, "Teddy Bear says" before the instructions. If your child does an action when you don't say "Teddy bear says" then it's their turn to become the teddy bear and call out actions for you.

Teddy bear says, touch your toes,
Teddy bear says, touch your nose,
Teddy bear says, sit down.

Repeat game for:
Teddy bear says, turn around,
Teddy bear says, touch your ears,
Teddy bear says, touch your shoulders.
