Simon says is a game for three or more
players (most often children). One of the people is "it" – i.e., 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).
It is considered cheating to give impossible commands ("Simon
says 'lift your left leg'. Simon says 'lift your right leg'. Simon did not say 'put your left leg down'!") or phrase the commands
in such a way that the other player has no option but to 'go out' ("Simon says 'jump up'. Come down."). However, at least
in some versions, it is allowed for Simon to eliminate players by asking them to do something seemingly unrelated to the game
(example: "Anyone remaining join me up here.")
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.
