The Best Simon Says List of Commands (200 Ideas)
- Share
Simon Says is a timeless game played by kids of all ages. It’s fun, it’s educational, and it’s a great way to engage children.
This Simon Says list of commands (there are 200) will keep you busy and includes different types of commands – simple, funny, silly, active, etc.
What are the Benefits of Playing Simon Says?
Why is Simon Says a good game for preschoolers and older kids?
Here are just a few reasons:
- It teaches kids listening skills
- It improves concentration and memory
- It’s an active game that can build gross motor skills
- It teaches kids to follow instructions
- It builds vocabulary
- It’s good for cognitive development
What are the Rules of Simon Says?
How do you play Simon Says in class or with a group of children at home?
The Simon Says rules are simple:
- One child is chosen to be Simon.
- Simon faces the group of children and must give action commands for them to follow.
- If Simon gives a command beginning with the words “Simon Says,” as in “Simon Says clap your hands,” the children must follow the instruction.
- To trick someone on Simon Says, Simon must give a command that doesn’t begin with the words “Simon Says.” As an example, if Simon just says “Clap your hands,” the children must stand still and not follow the command.
- Anyone who moves when the command does not include “Simon Says” is out and must sit down.
- The winner is the last child standing.
- The winner can then be Simon in the next round.
- If playing with very young children, an adult can think of the commands and play the role of Simon.
Can you play Simon Says with one child?
Yes, you can still play Simon Says if you don’t have a group of children. You and your child can take turns being Simon and thinking of commands for the other to act out.
Playing one-on-one is a great way to introduce this game to a toddler.
List of Simon Says Game Commands
Simon Says tasks or commands are the actions that Simon instructs the children to perform (or pretend to perform in some cases). Here is a list of 200 to choose from.

Just Dance 3 Medal List
One of the joys of playing Just Dance 3 is collecting all the medals. Here's the list of medals, and some tips on how to get them!
Constellation Maker
get 1 star on every song (this is where I am)
get 3 stars on every song
get 5 stars on every song
NOTE: Fairly straightforward.
You have to work hard to master each song's moves. You can see the current star count by going out to the "one by one" song screen that moves through them like a jukebox. I wish they showed the star count on the all-on-one-page screen, since that's the one I use the most. They only show which songs have 5 stars on here. At this point I have 3 stars on everything and am working towards the 5 star point song by song.
Sweat and Score
reach 300 sweat points with a 3 star rating on any song
reach 400 sweat points with a 4 star rating on any song
reach 500 sweat points with a 5 star rating on any song
NOTE: Again, fairly straightforward. I find the easiest one to get 500 sweat points on is Jamaican Dance, and once you figure out the moves on that song, it's repetitive and easy.
Just Dancer
play 10 songs
play 75 songs
play 150 songs
NOTE: This is an easy one, it's simply a cumulative counter. So after a while it will naturally happen.
The Good Dancer
become a star drummer in "she's got me dancing" (score "GOOD" or better)
NOTE: this part is easy, there's two chances and it's right up front.
become a crystal miner in "pump it" (score "GOOD" or better)
NOTE: It took me FOREVER to get this to trigger. In my case I got the entry "mining part" (where crystals come from the floor) perfect, an OK in the two middle sections, and a perfect at the end mining part. It gave me the medal. So it might just be the first or last that you need. I had gotten a single perfect middle area before and it didn't trigger so it could also be that you need 2 out of the 4 of them perfect.
become a real pianist in "take on me" (score "GOOD" or better)
NOTE: Compared with the pain and agony of the crystal miner, this was a one-shot easy one. Just do well in the hands-angled-down two parts.
The Good Duet
fall in love in "Something Stupid" (score "GOOD" or better with both dancers)
NOTE: The part where she bends down to hold his hand, just move smoothly and you should get it.
go through the x-ray in "Da Funk" (score "GOOD" or better with both dancers)
NOTE: The part where you can see their bones, again not too tricky
know your moves on the ground in "Beautiful Liar" (score "GOOD" or better with both dancers)
NOTE: The part when they're both kneeling.
This just takes practice.
The Good Crew
show your love in "boogie wonderland" (score "GOOD" or better with 4 dancers)
NOTE: I'm afraid I don't have four dancers, so I can't test these. Does anyone know what the rest are?
Master Simon
don't lose a single point on "STOP" moves during Simon Says mode
NOTE: The key here is to not worry about other points, because you'll always end up in a sweeping move when they tell you to stop :) Just move as little as possible so when the stop comes up you can.
Get at least 1000 points on every "SHAKE" move on Simon Says mode
NOTE: You have to shake like crazy to get it to fill up, but it is possible.
score every "CLAP" move on simon says mode
NOTE: Takes good timing, but again, possible. Luckily the clap thing gives you some warning, so it only took me a few tries to get it.
Eyes Wide Shut
get 5 stars on any song after disabling pictograms in the options menu
get 5 stars on any 3 songs after disabling pictograms in the options menu
get 5 stars on any 5 songs after disabling pictograms in the options menu
NOTE: This one is fairly easy once you get into the game.
I now play with pictograms turned off all the time and it doesn't bother me at all.
Highway to Stars
get 5 stars for 2 songs in a row
get 5 stars for 4 songs in a row
get 5 stars for 6 songs in a row
NOTE: They have to be DIFFERENT SONGS so this is a matter of building your skills up in a number of songs and then doing them all in a row.
Sweat Me a River
earn 1,000 sweat points
earn 10,000 sweat points
earn 30,000 sweat points
NOTE: This is cumulative. You might as well just play in sweat mode all the time since you can get to all the songs and games anyway, and you have the added bonus of the sweat points being added up for you. You earn this fairly quickly if you do.
Marathon
play at least 5 songs in a row on non-stop shuffle
play at least 15 songs in a row on non-stop shuffle
play at least 30 songs in a row on non-stop shuffle
NOTE: I've only hit the 5 song mark because there are a number of songs in the mix that I'm just not that fond of.
I'd rather choose songs I love to play. I wish you could make your own personalized playlist - in that case I'd definitely do this!
Perfectionist
finish any song with no x
finish any song with 90% of good or perfect moves
finish any song with 100% of good or perfect moves
NOTE: I'm at the 90% mark but can't get 100% yet. I'm very close on Jamaican Dance but there's always that stray "ok" that sneaks in there on the hand-swirling part :)
Ace Pair
finish any duet with 2 players getting 3 stars on both choreographies
finish any duet with 2 players getting 4 stars on both choreographies
finish any duet with 2 players getting 5 stars on both choreographies
NOTE: I'm only at 4 stars with this. I just can't get the 5 stars on Something Stupid with the mermaid which is my chosen song to try the duet with. I do fine with the diver!
Big Band Theory
finish any dance crew with all 4 players getting 3 stars
finish any dance crew with all 4 players getting 4 stars
finish any dance crew with all 4 players getting 5 stars
NOTE: I don't have four players, so I can't do this one.
Sweaty Hands
get 4 scores of 3 stars on a hold my hand choreography
get 4 scores of 4 stars on a hold my hand choreography
get 4 scores of 5 stars on a hold my hand choreography
NOTE: You have to have a dedicated partner to work on this one :) This is a SPECIFIC SONG in the specials area that you have to do, and all four "players" have to each get 3 stars to achieve the medal. If you only have two people, each person can hold one controller in their left hand and one in their right to give it a shot.
I admit I was so bad at this one that I enlisted my boyfriend and he had to go above and beyond the call of duty to achieve it. He held two controllers in one hand and one in the other. Then halfway through the song we paused and he took the controller I was trying to use, gave me the other one he'd already gotten to 3 stars, and finished the song up. It was the only way we could get to three stars on all four. It's a rough song!
Stylist
get 3 of the 7 different styles
get 5 of the 7 different styles
get all the styles: twins, energetic, smooth, in rhythm, creative, wild, lazy
NOTE: Most of these you get as you go through normal gameplay.
It's just the "twins" one you'll need to get help with.
Also in addition I'll note that you don't get anything at all for crossing 1,000 mojo points. The points just keep counting up.

JUST DANCE 3-the third part of the popular musical and dance series JUST Dance from the French company Ubisoft .
Just Dance 3 is a dancing game in which up to 4 users can simultaneously copy the movements of the silhouette characters displayed on the screen.
Depending on the platform, this is done using the Wii Remote or PlayStation Move controllers held in the right hand, or the Kinect touch device (on the Xbox 360) that reads the user's movements.
Just Dance 3 was the first game in the series to be released on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 - the previous installments were only available for the Nintendo Wii.
Features
- Fully animated backgrounds unique to each level. The dancer in the Black Eyed Peas song "Pump It" causes crystals to fall to the ground in sync with the music.
- There is a "4-part" choreography in certain songs. So, in "I Was Made For Lovin' You", each player imitates one of the members of a group of 4 people.
- Dance Mashup mode that combines the movements and patterns of multiple songs, providing a unique gaming experience each time.
- Improved Just Sweat mode with more training plans.
- Classic Mode, Duet Mode, Medley Mode and Simon Says are among the returned modes.
- Just Create mode on Xbox 360 that allows you to shoot your own videos on your Kinect camera to upload them online.
- Kinect version is the first Kinect dance game to support 4 users at the same time.
Songs
More than 45 songs will be recorded on the disc, including some new genres for the series, such as Bollywood and reggaeton.

ru - for parents and children. If you are not familiar with this fun, active game, you are here. If you've already played it, you might be interested to know what unusual movement options (commands) you can use to make the game more fun.
Rules of the game “Simon says…”
“Simon says…” (Simon says…) is a very popular game in English-speaking countries. Three people can participate in it, where one participant becomes the leader, i.e. Simon, who gives commands, for example: "Simon says: Clap your hands". Other players must follow the command. Simon gives commands quickly, and the participants need to not hesitate, and also quickly execute them, otherwise they will be eliminated. In addition, the order must necessarily begin with the words Simon says...
This is a game to develop mindfulness and increase the speed of reaction in children, improve coordination of movement. And in our case, also on a clear understanding of commands in English.
Since the game is very active, it can be used in English lessons as a physical education session. A dynamic melody can sound in the background, but not loudly.
It is better for the teacher to play the role of Simon, as children cannot always keep up the pace of the game.
Possible movements:
Touch your nose. - Touch your nose.
Raise your hand(s). Raise your hand(s).
Raise you left (right) arm. - Raise your left (right) hand.
Close your eyes. Close your eyes.
Touch your ear(s). Touch your ear(s).

Stretch up. - Stretch.
Touch you toe(s). - Touch your toe(s).
Rub you chick. Rub your cheek.
Move your head down (up, to the left, to the right). - Tilt your head forward (up, left, right).
Various verbs of motion can be used jump, run, hop, turn around, march and others.
How to make the game more difficult
The older the children, the more difficult the game can become. The host can say a command with the prefix "Simon didn't say ...". Children, of course, should not follow such a command. Those who started to execute the command are eliminated.
You can also use more complex commands, both to understand and to execute:
Touch your left leg with the right hand. - Touch your left leg with your right hand.
Touch you knee with your nose. - Touch your knee with your nose.
