How do I write the name of a game?

Hi,

Please help me to write the names of games correctly.

Are they correct?

Let's sing 'Monkey's song.'

Let's play "The Simon Says Game."

Let's do a toe game.

Do you have some helpful guidelines?

If it is called ' game ' or ' song ', etc, then we usually use the ; if there is no similar common noun and the is not a part of the title, no the : Let's sing the monkey song / The Monkey's Song / Mona. Let's play the repeating game / The Dating Game / Simon Says / Monopoly. For comparison: Let's go to the cosmetics shop / The Body Shop / Korres.
