How to play: One player is designated as "Simon," and the other players must do whatever Simon says, as long as the phrase "Simon says" comes before the command. If Simon does not say "Simon says" before the command, players are not supposed to follow the command. If a player does follow a command without a "Simon Says," that player is out of the game.
The rules: It is against the rules for Simon to give impossible commands such as "Simon says put your left leg up. Simon says put your right leg up. Simon didn't say to put your left leg down."
How to win: The last person to stay in the game is the winner.
What else you need to know: This game is played all over the world; however, the name varies from country to country. In France, for example, the game is called "Jacques a dit."
