Simon Says Ideas

Well hello there, fun-loving parents! Are you in need of a good ole fashioned game that’s sure to get the kids giggling and the adults reminiscing about their childhoods? Then Simon Says is the name, and fun’s the game!

The Rules of Simon Says

Alright kids, gather ’round for a riveting game of Simon Says and learn how to play! This classic family game night activity is sure to get your heart pumping and bring plenty of laughs. Here are the rules:

First, decide who will be Simon. This lucky player gets to call out the commands that everyone else has to follow. But there’s a catch! You only have to do what Simon Says. If Simon says “jump up and down” then you better start hopping! But if Simon just says “clap your hands” without saying “Simon says” first, then don’t do it!

Now here’s where it gets tricky. Simon has to try and fake you out by giving orders without saying “Simon says.” If you follow a command that doesn’t begin with “Simon says,” then you’re out! The last player still standing in the game wins and gets to be Simon for the next round.

To play, gather in a circle so Simon can see everyone. When Simon gives a command, they have to say “Simon says” first in order for you to do it. If you mess up and follow a command without “Simon says,” then you’re out – have a seat on the sidelines.

Simon will start by saying something like “Simon says to touch your nose.” Everyone must then touch their nose. Simon will keep giving commands, trying to eliminate players by sneaking in orders without saying “Simon says” first.

It’s a simple group activity game, but so much fun and laughter when Simon tries to trick you. Soon you’ll be jumping, spinning, acting silly and getting your exercise in too. So grab your family and friends and let the hilarious game of Simon Says begin!

The End of Simon Says Commands

And there you have it, parents – over 500 fun Simon Says commands and ideas to get those little imaginations glowing and the giggles flowing! With so many creative animal actions, wacky challenges, silly voices and movement prompts, your kids will be engaged for hours. Just be sure to take turns being “Simon” so you can get in on the fun too.

The beauty of Simon Says is that you can tailor it to your child’s interests and abilities. For younger kids, keep it simple with basic actions like jumping, clapping and animal noises. For older kids, add complexity with multi-step prompts or imaginative scenarios. Encourage their creativity by letting them suggest new ideas too!

Just remember the basic rules – players must follow commands that begin with “Simon says”. If Simon doesn’t say it, don’t do it! This classic game develops listening skills, self-control and memory. But most importantly, it provides hours of free entertainment for your family.

So gather the kids, decide who goes first as Simon and let the fun begin! We’d love to hear all about the silly memories you make playing Simon Says at home.
