a game for children in which a player is considered as a leader and other players must do what the leader says only if they add “Simon says” at the beginning of their instructive sentences

Simon Says is a popular children's game where one player, known as "Simon," gives commands to the other players. The players must only follow the command if it is followed by the phrase "Simon says." If Simon does not say "Simon says" before the command, players must not follow it. If a player follows a command without the phrase or makes a mistake, they are out of the game. The goal is to be the last player remaining who correctly follows only the commands given by Simon. Simon Says helps improve listening skills and attention while being fun and interactive.
