Simon is also subject to a forfeit, if he tells his companions to turn down while the thumbs are already down, or vice versâ. Some one, if not all, is sure to obey the command, and is subject to a forfeit. When he has done so several times, and thinks that the players are off their guard, he merely gives the word, “Turn up,” or “Turn down,” without moving his hands. He then says, “Simon says, turn up,” and brings his hands back again. The leader will act like the fictional character Simon. The rules of the game will be clearly stated. Players can either hold hands and form a giant chain or not, depending on their desire. The game commences by Simon commanding,-“Simon says, turn down:” on which he turns his thumbs downwards, followed by the other players. All participants will form a circle surrounding the leader.
Simon is himself subjected to the same rules. No player is to obey his commands unless prefaced with the words, “Simon says.” He and all the other players clench their fists, keeping the thumb pointed upwards. If Simon says, Simon says touch your nose, then players must touch their nose. However, the players must only obey commands that begin with the words Simon Says. Standing in front of the group, Simon tells players what they must do. The players are arranged as in Fugleman, the player who enacts Simon standing in front. One person is designated Simon, the others are the players. This, if well managed, is a very comical game.
