Johnny Jump-Ups Game
Most Fun With:
4 or more players
Kids age 3 and up
A yard or playground
Although it sounds vaguely like a brand of transition diapers, Johnny Jump-Ups is a simple version of Simon Says-and with its spring time theme, a superb game to either welcome the season (if you're lucky) or boost the morale of winter-weary kids (if you're not). 1. A leader is chosen and designated "Spring." he other players are "seeds," and count off into two equal-as-possible groups. The seeds spread out and crouch down. 2. Spring then claps once, twice, or three times. If she claps once, group 1 seeds "sprout" by jumping up. If she claps twice, Group 2 seeds sprout. Three times everybody sprouts. 3. Anybody who sprouts (or fails to sprout) at the wrong time is out; the last sprout standing is the next Spring.
