Games that Kid can Play -Simon Says

Simon says is game for three or more players .
  • One of the kid should be Simon.
  • The others must do what Simon tells them to do when asked with a phrase beginning with "Simon says".
  • If Simon says "Simon says jump", the players must jump (players that do not jump are out). However, if Simon says simply "jump", without first saying "Simon says", players do not jump; those that do jump are out.

In general, it is the spirit of the command, not the actions that matters; if Simon says "Simon says touch your toes", players only have to show that they are trying to touch their toes. It is the ability to distinguish between valid and invalid commands, rather than physical ability, that matters here.


It is Simon's task to try to get everyone out as quickly as possible, and it is every one else's job to stay "in" for as long as possible. The last of Simon's followers to stay in wins (although the game is not always played all the way through).

A recent psychological study found that the game can be a healthy way to help children to improve self-control and restraint of impulsive behavior.


The name of the game also inspired a classic 1980s electronic toy named Simon by computer games Ralph H Inventor .It is a circular electronic game featuring four colored quadrants. The game will flash quadrants in turn and expect you to repeat the sequence. If you get the sequence correct, the game will respond with a longer sequence.You can find the online version @ www.mathsisfun.com/games/simon-says-game.html
