Red Light, Green Light is a great game because children of different ages can play. This is also one of those traditional games that many adults will remember playing as children.

Hints:

  • A huge empty field (but a long hallway will do)
  • Six or more players (but you can play with as few as three)

Start

  • Choose one player to be stop light. He should stand about 25 yards from the other players, with his back turned to them.
  • At the start, all the children form a line about 15 feet away from the stop light.
  • To begin play, stop light closes his eyes and yells, "Green Light! At this point the kids are allowed to move towards the stoplight.
  • At any point, the stop light may say "red light!" and turn around. If any of the kids are caught moving after this has occurred, they are out.
  • Play resumes when the stop light turns back around and says "green light".
  • The stop light wins if all the kids are out before anyone is able to touch him/her.
  • Otherwise, the first player to touch the stop light wins the game and earns the right to be "stop light" for the next game.
