Santa Says Game for Kids

Are you looking for a fun Christmas game to play with your kids this holiday season? Why not, try this fun game called Santa Says. It is very similar to the popular game, “Simon Says” but instead a designated “Santa” tells the kids what to do. Check out Santa Says Game for Kids below:

To play Santa Says you will need at least three or more players. One player takes the role of “Santa” and issues instructions from our list. You can pull them out of a hat or cup. But they will instruct the other players, which should be followed only when prefaced with the phrase “Santa says”. Players are eliminated from the game by either following instructions that are not immediately preceded by the phrase, or by failing to follow an instruction which does include the phrase “Santa says”. It is the ability to distinguish between genuine and fake commands, rather than physical ability, that usually matters in the game; in most cases, the action just needs to be attempted.
