I Say Stoop!_5 to 60 or more players._
_Playground; gymnasium; schoolroom._
This game is a variation of the old familiar game "Simon says," but
calls for much more activity than the latter game.
The players stand in a circle, and in front of them the leader or
teacher. The teacher says quickly, "I say, stoop!" and immediately
stoops himself and rises again, somewhat as in a courtesy. The players
all imitate the action; but when the leader says, "I say, stand!" at
the same time stooping himself, the players should remain standing.
Any who make a mistake and stoop when the leader says, "I say, stand!"
are out of the game.
This may be made a very amusing little game to fill in a few
dull moments, and when used in the schoolroom, it serves to
refresh tired minds very quickly. The leader should speak and
move very rapidly and make unexpected variations in the order
in which the two commands are given.
