    Brush up your memory: How to play the game ‘Simon Says’

    Simon says is a game in which you obey an order only when it begins with "Simon Says".

    1. Seat yourselves in a circle, or stand in a group.


    2. Explain the rules. Tell the group that in the first round you will be ‘Simon’
    3. ‘Simon’ then orders all sorts of different things to be done, the funnier the better, which must
    be obeyed only when the order begins with “Simon says”. For instance, "Simon says: 'Thumbs
    up!'" which, of course, all obey; then perhaps comes: "Thumbs down!" which should not be
    obeyed, because the order did not begin with “Simon says”.
    4. When someone follows an order that does not begin with “Simon says”, he or she is out of the
    game.
    5. Repeat these instructions until only one person is left.
    6. That person becomes a new ‘Simon’.
