How to play

Game variations

1

Play with usual rules of Simon Says, however if you do an action when you shouldn’t, swap roles with Santa.

2

If playing in a large space, start with Santa at one end and other playmates at the opposite end. Play with usual rules of Simon Says, and every time you do the correct action move one step closer to Santa. If you do the wrong action move one step back. Who can get to Santa first?

3

Santa calls out the actions and activities and see how many you can perform in two minutes. Keep count but lose a point if you do an action that didn’t start with Santa says.

4

For a test of memory, Santa will give one action but you have to do the previous action prior to the new one as well. Challenge to see how many actions you can recall and do in a row. Can you get to five?
