Grade:

Grades 1-3, Grades, 3-5

Setup:

Campers form a line

Directions:

In this game, one person plays the “Stoplight” while the other players try to cross to the other side. At the start, have the campers form a line across from the Stoplight. The Stoplight will give a series of color commands that control how the players move. Teach Campers these Colors and Meanings beforehand and gradually add more complexity! 

 

Basic:  Green Light – Run or Skip/ Yellow Light – Move Slow Motion/ Red Light – Stop and Freeze

Expansion: Blue Light – Dance/ Orange Light – Hop, If campers like Dinosaurs or Minecraft or Purrmaids you could add a related light and moves! 

 

If a camper does not follow the command they are kindly told they are caught and they return to start. The goal is for all the campers to make it to the other side!
