Green Light, Red Light

One person acts as the leader (or the traffic light) and the
others are players. The leader stands a distance from the
players with his back facing them. While the leader has his back
turned to the players he recites green light (meaning the players
can run towards him) red light (meaning the players have to
stop). When the leader says red light and turns to face the
players anyone caught running is told to go back to the starting
line. The first person to reach the leader (or the traffic
light) wins the game.
