Mr. President (game)

Mr. President is a children's game, usually played in a primary classroom setting. One child is selected to hide their eyes (possibly on the chalk board), while another child is selected to say "Hello Mr. President" in a funny/unusual voice. The child on the board is supposed to guess which other child said it. Often the child may move around the room and say it before returning to their desk or seat. So, the "president" should wait until told to peek, or she/he may guess without peeking.

Another completely different game of the same name, is played outdoors. Within a group of people, one person will touch their ear. This mimics the United States Secret Service (The actual President's bodyguards) in the way which they touch their earpieces. When someone else sees this, they too should touch their ear. When everybody but one person has touched their ear, they have all become the Secret Service, while the last person to notice becomes the President. At this point, all of the Secret Service yells "Get down Mr. President" and proceeds to tackle the President. This action mimics how the Secret Service would respond to an assassination attempt.
