How to Play
Choose the Fairy Godmother- Select one person to be the Fairy Godmother who will give the magical commands
Gather the Royal Court- Have all the children stand in front of the Fairy Godmother so they can clearly hear the instructions
Give Magical Commands- The Fairy Godmother gives actions for the children to perform, but children must only follow the ommands that begin with "Fairy Godmother Says"
Example: Fairy Godmother says spin like a princess
Watch Carefully- If the Fairy Godmother gives a command without saying "Fairy Godmother says " first, anyone who does the action is out for that round.
Example: "jump like a frog!" (Children should NOT jump)
Keep the Magic Going-Continue giving commands until only one child remains or play just for fun with no eliminations.
