1 GAME: Simon Says
Game / Bible / Life Connection:
- The Game Zone Leader will be “Simon” in a game of Simon Says.
- Have the Players face “Simon.”
- Tell the Players that the commands will be given in two different ways, either beginning by saying “Simon Says” and then stating the command or simply stating the command.
- Explain that the Players should only follow commands that begin with “Simon Says.” If they do the wrong action or act after a command they should not follow, they are out and must sit down for the remainder of the round.
