Simon Says

Instructions

Choose a Leader

Pick one person to be “Simon.” Everyone else will follow their commands.

Listen Closely

Simon gives instructions like "Touch your toes" or "Jump like a kangaroo."

The Catch

Only follow the command if Simon starts with “Simon says…”!

Stay Sharp

If you follow a command without “Simon says,” you're out (or just try again!).
