概要
Ever wonder who Simon actually is—and why we’ve all blindly followed his oddly specific commands since childhood? This episode dives into the mysterious (and mostly unverified) origins of “Simon Says,” including a couple of historical figures who may—or may not—have inspired the name.
But that question opens the door to something bigger: where do kids’ games come from? From ancient bone-tossing games that evolved into jacks, to centuries-old versions of tag played across different cultures, we take a look at the real (and sometimes totally mythical) histories behind the games we grew up with. Along the way, we also uncover how some playground traditions changed—or disappeared entirely—over time.
Turns out, not everything you learned on the playground came with a rulebook.
