What
you will do:
This is an interesting variation of the classic children's game "Red
Light, Green Light" which is played with obstacles. Before starting
the game place obstacles within the field of play. For example there may
be a rope stretched across the room that the player must step over, a
row of chairs to run around or boxes to crawl through.
Have children line up in a horizontal line facing you. You will stand
at the opposite side of the room and call out "Green Light"
or "Red Light". When you say green light the children move towards
you, when you call red light they must stop. The first child to reach
you wins. A child must go back to the starting line if they continue to
move forward once you've called red light.
What you will say:
Once the game is finished ask the kids if the game would have been
as interesting without rules? What would happen if we tried to play the
game, but everyone used their own set of rules? Explain that it is much
the same in real life, rules and laws make life much better.
