RED-LIGHT GAME
THIS IS A GAME PLAYED OFTEN BY SCHOOLCHILDREN IN THE 1920S
AND UP THROUGH TODAY. ONE CHILD IS CHOSEN TO BE 'IT,'
THE OTHERS BEING FREE. THE CHILD THAT IS 'IT' COVERS HIS
EYES, COUNTS TO TEN IN ANY SPEED HE WISHES, SHOUTS
'REDLIGHT' TO THE OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN WALKING AROUND,
AND ANY CHILD HE CATCHES IN MOTION IS THE NEW 'IT.'
