How to Play

  1. Select one person to be the Fairy Godmother who will give the magical commands

  2. Have all the children stand in front of the Fairy Queen so they can clearly hear the instructions

  3. The Fairy Queen gives actions for the children to perform, but children must only follow the commands that begin with "Fairy Queen Says"

    Example: Fairy Queen says spin like a fairy.

  4. If the Fairy Queen gives a command without saying "Fairy Queen says " first, anyone who does the action is out for that round.

    Example: "jump like a frog!" (Children should NOT jump)

  5. Continue giving commands until only one child remains or play just for fun with no eliminations.
