Stop and Go

Unlike more rough and tumble games, Red Light, Green Light is fun for all ages. A person, the traffic light, if you will, faces the group and announces either Red Light (stop) or Green Light (walk) at varying and unpredictable intervals. If a player moves on Red they're out. The first person to reach the traffic light wins. Variations of this game exist in countries around the world.
