RED LIGHT~GREEN LIGHT~1, 2, 3

I remember this game all too well.  I really loved playing this game with my friends growing up.  I played it with my children, and now I am playing it with my grand kids.  This is a great game to enjoy and have fun.  The kids will love it, and maybe it will bring back some memories for you.  Great game for indoors or outside.  This is the way we played it when I was a kid.  However their are different versions. 


Have the children line up in a row. Make sure that you have an open space so that they will have room to move freely.


The object of the game is to reach the caller first and tag him before he turns to catch you, and then you are next to call.


Have the first person that is going to call the game stand up front far away from the line.


That person will turn their back and cover their eyes.


They will say "Red light, Green light 1~2~3", then quickly turn towards the line and open his eyes to see if he can catch anyone moving. If you are caught in movement, you are out of the game.
After the caller says the phrase and turns to see who he can catch, you have to freeze so you wont get caught.  You have to move as fast as you can while he is saying "Red light, Green light 1~2~3.


The last person that is still in the game and reaches the caller (It) is the winner.
