How to Play Simon Says
Watch the sequence of coloured buttons light up, then repeat it exactly. The sequence grows by one step each round.
Tip: Hum the rhythm aloud as the sequence plays — it helps you remember the pattern.
💡 Memory Simon Tips
- Watch the whole sequence before touching anything. Starting early is the most common reason a long run ends.
- Say the colours aloud. Speech gives you a second channel to recall the order from.
- Group in threes. "Red-green-blue / yellow-red" holds far better than five loose items.
- Use the sounds as well as the lights. Each colour has its own tone, and the melody is often easier to recall than the sequence.
🧠 What Memory Simon Develops
Sequential memory — holding order rather than content — is exactly what this format isolates, and the audio-visual pairing gives two routes to encode the same information. Most players plateau around seven items, and chunking is what moves them past it. Suited to ages 5 and up.
