Red Light Green Light
Red Light Green Light is one of the good multiplayer games for kids. It's also one of the very cool outdoor games for kids!
4 or more players
Ages 5 and up
Need: chalk or sticks to make a line
Another beloved game passed down from parents to children for years and years.
One player is the light. He stands facing a tree, wall or fence.
Make a line about 25 feet from the light. All the other players line up in a row along this line.
The light shouts out "green light" which means the players move forward as fast as they can.
When the light calls out "red light", he turns to face the players who must immediately stop.
If the light sees someone moving on "red light", he sends her back to the starting line.
The light turns around with his back towards the players again and shouts out "green light". Play continues in this manner.
The winner is the first player who touches the light. She then is the next light.
As an alternative, the player(s) who are caught moving on a red light can be out of the game.
They will sit out until this round is over and a new round begins.
This can be played at school, too. It's great for gym class games for elementary children.
They can also play this outdoors during recess time on the playground.
This may be played as a team game, too. The team with the most players left at the end of the game wins. You can set a time limit on the game.
