Similiar to Simon Says, this party game can be played with a large group or with your family at home.

Instructions
    1.
    Establish two lines a tthe opposite ends of the play area. One is the Goal Line and the other is the Starting Line.
    2.
    Choose one player to be "Mother." (If players object to being called "Mother" you can also refer to that player as "Captain.") "Mother" stands at the Goal Line, while the rest of players should line up at the Starting Line.
    3.
    "Mother" should direct instructions to each player individually. These instructions should be things like, "Take 2 giants steps forward," or "Take 5 baby steps forward," or "Jump forward once." etc. The player must remeber to ask, "Mother may I?" (or "Captain may I?") before following the instruction. If a player forgets to ask, he must start again at the Starting Line.
    4.
    The first player to reach the Goal Line wins; the last player to reach it, becomes "Mother" in the next round.
