Red light + Green light = Yellow light
WAIT! This is not the thing we will be discussing here.
Now you got to be thinking that I will talk about the most trending series on Netflix “Squid game”
Definitely Not!
In this blog, we will only talk about the most famous game played by Korean kids -Red Light Green Light which is not only played for fun but also some morals can be extracted from it.
This is the perfect game for kids ages 3 and up!
General Rules
- A person is choose and stands out at the end of the field. Everyone else playing stands at the far end of the field (distance depends upon the field)
- When the game starts , chosen player says Green Light and the remaining player have to move from there end to the selected players position .
- When the selected player turns around and shouts Red Light, everyone must freeze as long as he looks at them.
- If anyone is caught moving , they are sent back to starting line to begin again or else they will be eliminated from the game
Variation
- In the traditional version of this game, “Red Light” means STOP and “Green Light” means GO. There are many other variation to try.
- Use different colours to mean different types of movement, like “Yellow Light” means skipping and “Purple Light” means HOPPING.
- Use different colours to mean different animals, like “Blue Light” means LION and “Orange Light” means BUNNY.
- Say words that rhyme with the words “Red” or “Green” to see if they catch the difference , like “Bread Light! Teen Light!” Very silly , and quite fun.
Moral Value Displayed
Red Light, Green Light is great for teaching patience. After all, children don’t love to stand still. To play, one kid stands facing away at the other side of the field. The goal is to be the first to touch that person, without getting caught moving.
When the person is facing away, that’s a green light, and kids can move toward them. When the leader turns around to face the group, that’s a red light, and kids must stop moving. Anyone the leader catches still in motion has to go back to the starting line.
To win at the red light green light, kids need to rein in their impulse to run forward, instead choosing a pace where they can stop if the leader starts to turn. As they near the leader, they’ll also have to learn how to wait for the exact right moment to rush forward. If they misjudge and go too soon, they’ll have to start over from the beginning.
