The title of the toolSimon says…
The learning objective of the toolMaintaining mental processes, concentrate 
Target GroupOlder people (60+)
Duration of the Tool30 minutes (depending of the number of participants)
Preparation (Preparation before the implementation, needed materials etc.)We need a proper space and participants
Instructions to implement the toolParticipants need to choose one person, who will be Simon. The others must do what they are instructed to do, provided they use the phrase “Simon says” before the command. For example, when he says “Simon says, raise your left hand,” everyone should do it. But if he just says “raise your left hand” instead, then no one should do anything, otherwise you will end up disqualified.
Skills – SDGs – Key Competences ChartSkills to support concentration and fast thinking
Sum Up / Debriefing / Reflection at the end of the implementationWe ask participants if they know the game from before and if they have played it before. In what way did they choose Simon? Did they find the tasks correct and appropriate for all participants? Why yes, why not? Do they find the game good for maintaining concentration and mental health?
Any tips / suggestions to the trainers for the further implementationsIf there is a big space and a lot of participants, you can use speakers.
