Family Play of the Week: Red Light Green Light

This week I have a classic for you. Red Light, Green Light requires no materials and just an open space to run around. It is a great way to encourage kids to move and requires them to stay alert and in control of their movements.

Decide on one person to be ‘it’ (the traffic light). If your children are not familiar with the game, it’s probably a good idea for you to be the traffic light first. The other family members should be about 5 + meters away and standing in a line facing the ‘traffic light.’ The ‘traffic light’ should have their back turned to the players on the line.

When the ‘traffic light’ calls ‘Green Light,’ the other players move towards the ‘traffic light’ until he/she spins around, calling ‘Red Light.’ When they hear the red light command the other players must freeze on the spot. Any family member moving must return to the starting line. Each family member must remain frozen until the next ‘Green Light’ command is given. Play continues in this manner until someone manages to get to the ‘traffic light’ and tags It. The tagger becomes the new ‘traffic light’ and the game begins again.

There are lots of variations to this game online, a quick internet search will find them for you and extend your play time! Have a fabulous Saturday!
