Listen Carefully: Simon will give a series of instructions, some starting with the phrase “Simon Says” and some not.

It’s a perfect icebreaker for parties, a great way to loosen up during game nights, or just a fun activity to enjoy with friends and family. Categories: Party Game, Active Game How to Play: Number of Players: Minimum of 2 players (works well with small or large groups) What You’ll Need: Open space with some room to move around Optional: Timer (for timed rounds) Gameplay: Leader Up Front: To begin, choose a player to be the leader. The leader will act out different words or phrases throughout the game. You can take turns being the leader for each round. Opposites Attract (in Actions): The leader will act out a word or phrase. The key twist is that all other players need to act out the opposite of what the leader is demonstrating. The more exaggerated and silly the opposite actions, the funnier the game becomes! Example Time! Let’s say the leader acts out “running” frantically. The players would then need to move in the opposite way, perhaps by walking slowly or even crawling. If the leader pretends to be “sleeping” soundly, the players might jump up and down with energetic enthusiasm. The leader acts out “crying” with exaggerated sadness. The players would respond by acting out “laughing” hysterically. Guessing and Switching Roles: The first player to correctly guess the opposite action being portrayed by the leader becomes the new leader for the next round. If no one guesses correctly within a reasonable amount of time (optional: use a timer for timed rounds), the leader can choose another word or phrase to act out. Winning Criteria: There are two common ways to play Act Opposite to determine a winner: Individual Play: If playing individually, you can keep track of how many times each player guesses the opposite action correctly throughout the game. The player with the most correct guesses at the end is the winner. Team Play: For larger groups, divide players into teams and have them compete against each other. The first team to guess the opposite action correctly scores a point. The team with the most points at the end of a set number of rounds wins. Estimated Playtime: A typical game of Act Opposite can last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the following factors: Number of players: Larger groups will naturally take longer as more people have a chance to guess. Length of rounds: If using a timer for timed rounds, the game will progress faster. Complexity of words/phrases: Simpler words will be guessed quicker, while more complex phrases might take longer. Make it your way: Charades Opposite: Take the game up a notch by having the leader act out a short phrase or a movie/book title. Players then need to guess the opposite of the phrase or title through their opposite actions. Team Play: For larger groups, divide players into teams and have them compete against each other. The first team to guess the opposite action correctly scores a point. The team with the most points at the end of a set number of rounds wins.
