Simon Says

game · listening · trick

Listen carefully.. In Simon Says, you have to do what the leader tells you, but only if they say 'Simon says' first. If they give a command without those magic words, you should stay still and ignore it.

One mistake counts.. You're out if you follow a command that doesn't have 'Simon says' in front of it, or if you fail to do something when Simon actually did say it. The tricky part is paying super close attention to every single word.

It's all about focus.. You don't need to be the fastest or strongest to win Simon Says. What matters is your ability to listen carefully and decide quickly whether the leader really said 'Simon says' or tried to trick you.

Three players minimum.. The game needs at least three people to work: one person is Simon giving the orders, and the others are trying not to get tricked. The last person still in the game wins and can become the new Simon.

Simple actions work best.. Simon might tell you to touch your nose, jump up and down, pat your head, or make silly faces. The actions are usually easy to do, but the challenge is remembering to only do them when Simon says.
