RULES:
The object of the game for the group is to be the last player standing. The object for Simon is to eliminate all the players. Pick one person to be Simon, and the other players follow Simon’s instructions. Standing in front of the group Simon tells the players what they must do. The players must obey all commands that begin with the words “Simon says”. For example, if Simon says, “Simon says touch your nose” then all the players must touch their nose and continue to touch their nose until Simon says otherwise. Any player who fails to follow Simon’s instruction is eliminated and must sit down. Simon is not allowed to give an impossible command.

If Simon says a command without saying “Simon says” then any player who follows that command loses and is eliminated and must sit down. Simon does not have to follow their own commands and they can try and trick players into getting eliminated by misleading them with their own actions. For example Simon could say something like this: “Simon says to touch your nose. Simon says to touch your chin… Grab your ear.”

The last player standing, wins and becomes the new Simon for the next game. If the all of the players are eliminated at the same time, then Simon wins and plays as Simon for the next game.
