Simon Says Action Cards by KidsPrintAndPlay

Free printable movement cards for home and classroom. Each pack is a four-page US Letter PDF with how to play, space and body safety, non-elimination scoring to 10, a theme variation, and 18 cut-apart cards with low-ink line icons.

How to play — quick rules and safety

How to play: One leader says an action from a card. Players listen and move. Cards do not print “Simon says” so the leader can add it or not. Stay in your own space and move at a comfortable range.

Space and body safety: Clear your area, keep an arm-length from others, bend knees softly, and pause if you feel crowded or dizzy. All balance or jumping cards include a seated or support alternative.

Scoring: Non-elimination. Earn one point for each correct action. Individual or group completes a round at 10 points — celebrate and start a new round. No one sits out.

Consent: For partner cards, ask “May I?” and respect yes or no. Every partner card offers a solo or no-contact alternative such as air high five, mirror yourself, or hold your own hands.
