Simon Says

One leader calls out actions — but players only do them when the command starts with "Simon says". Slip up and you are out.

How to run it

  1. Choose one person to be "Simon" (the leader). Everyone else stands where Simon can see them.
  2. Simon calls out actions. If the command starts with "Simon says" — e.g. "Simon says touch your toes" — players must do it.
  3. If Simon gives a command WITHOUT "Simon says" (just "touch your toes") and a player does it anyway, that player is out.
  4. Speed up the commands to catch people out. The last player remaining wins and becomes the next Simon.
