Red Light, Green Light

This is a children's game in which one child is designated as
the Light. He stands at one end of the yard with his back to
the other players, who are lined up at the other end of the
yard. He yells "Green Light!" and everyone sneaks up toward
him. At any time he may spin around to face the runners, so
long as he yells "Red Light" first. Anyone he sees moving
must go back to start. Whoever touches the Light's back first
takes his place.
