How to play
- One child or the teacher is Simon.
- Simon calls out a command, like “Simon says, march in place!” and everyone does it.
- If Simon gives a command without saying “Simon says” first, anyone who follows it sits down until the next round.
- The last child standing becomes the next Simon.
Tips & variations
- Speed up the commands as the game goes on.
