SIMON SAYS

PLAYERS LINE UP OPPOSITE A SINGLE PLAYER. THE SINGLE PLAYER QUICKLY GIVES COMMANDS, PREFACING EACH WITH "SIMON SAYS." THESE COMMANDS MAY BE AND USUALLY ARE HOW MANY STEPS TO TAKE AND HOW TO TAKE THEM. SUDDENLY, HE GIVES THE COMMAND WITHOUT THE PREFACE. IF HE HAS CAUGHT ANYONE NOT ON THE ALERT, THAT PERSON MUST GO BACK. THE FIRST PERSON TO REACH SIMON WINS.
