Simon Says Game
Simon Says game is one of the fun kids birthday party games, team building games for kids, and a cool concentration game.
4 or more players
Ages: 4 and up
This is another beloved classic children's game your parents and grandparents played.
One player is the leader (Simon). The other kids scatter around the room (or yard) facing him.
The game begins with the leader calling out activities for the other players to do.
He can call out "hop on one foot", "act like a monkey", "sing Old McDonald", or anything he can come up with.
The players must do as they're told, but only if the command starts out with "Simon says".
A player who does an action without being told that, is out of the game.
And, a player who does not do an action after hearing that is also out of the game.
The winner is the last remaining player and she is the new Simon.
We played this game at school many times on lunch breaks or when the kids were out on the playground.
It hones their listening and critical thinking skills.
It gets them moving and, most importantly, it gets them laughing!
The kids will go along performing all the actions that Simon tells them to until they slip up and do one he didn't tell them to do!
It's funny wondering how you messed that up!
This is another game that is great for dividing the kids up and having them play in teams.
