Simon Says

Names (optional) Add names so turns are called by name
First names or nicknames, saved only on this phone. Pick a kid’s age so the youngest goes first and quiz cards fit each kid; tick “Adult” for grown-ups: they get harder words to act out and no kids-only topics.

Cards follow the youngest player.
Simon Says for kids: the phone calls, the whole family moves
Everyone stands up and the phone goes where all can hear it. It calls actions: “Simon says touch your nose!” means do it. No “Simon says”? It’s a trick, so stay still! Nobody is out: if you’re tricked, laugh and keep playing.
2 players
Stand face to face and swap places when someone is tricked. Ten calls take about two minutes.
3 players
Stand in a row. A grown-up watches for anyone who falls for a trick, then everyone laughs.
4 or more players
With 4 or more, stand in a circle around the phone. The youngest stands closest so they hear every call.

Questions parents ask
What age is it for?
Ages 6 and up. Younger kids get a little more time between calls.
Do we need to hold or watch the phone?
No. The phone reads aloud and moves on by itself. Turn on hands-free and pick 🌙 Screen dim: the screen goes black but keeps talking, so lay it face down and listen.
Does it cost anything?
No. It's free, with no sign-up and no ads, and your kids' names stay on your phone.
