Traffic Light
(Also known as: Red Light, Green Light. )
One player is nominated as the Traffic Light and controls the movements of the other players, trying all the time to catch them out and eliminate them.
How To Play
Step 1.
One player (The Traffic Light) stands at one end of the room and all the others at the other end behind a defined line.
Step 2.
The Traffic light calls out "Green Light" and all the other players move towards him. He then calls "Red Light" and they must freeze. The traffic Light turns around quickly and checks if anyone is moving, and if so, they are sent back to the start line.

The first person to touch the Traffic Light is the winner and takes over the top job.

Tips / Variations
Variation: The Traffic Light has to say "Amber Light" between Green light and Red Light, giving other players more time to move forwards.
A nice variation on this game is "What's the Time, Mr Wolf?". See separate listing for details.
