Select one player to be the "traffic light" or the leader. The rest of the players will line up several feet behind the leader.
The leader stands facing away from the other players, with enough space in between.
The leader starts the game by saying "Green light!" and turning around to face the other players. This signals the players to start moving towards the leader.
As the players move forward, they must listen carefully to the leader's commands. When the leader says "Red light!", all players must immediately stop and freeze in their positions. They must not move until the leader gives the command to continue.
The leader can turn around at any point after saying "Red light!" and catch any player who is still moving. If a player is caught moving, they are out of the game and must step aside.
The leader alternates between saying "Green light!" and "Red light!" to control the movement of the players.
The game continues until one player reaches the leader or until only one player remains without getting caught moving. The player who reaches the leader first or the last remaining player becomes the new leader for the next round.
Variations:
To add an element of surprise, the leader can say "Yellow light!" at any point during the game. When this command is given, players must move in slow motion until the leader says "Green light!" or "Red light!" to resume regular speed or freeze.
For a more challenging version, the leader can introduce additional commands such as "Jump!", "Spin!", or "Crawl!" that players must perform when those commands are given.
