Police Officer Simon Says!

Here is a fun game to play either before you leave, or throughout the day.

  • Objective: Follow commands given by "Police Officer Simon" only if they start with "Police Officer Simon says..."

  • Gameplay:

    • One player is chosen as "Police Officer Simon."

    • Police Officer Simon gives commands, e.g., "Police Officer Simon says touch your toes."

    • If a command does not start with "Officer Simon says," players should not follow it.

    • Players who follow commands without "Police Officer Simon says" are out.

    • The last player remaining becomes the next "Police Officer Simon."
