Traffic lights

Aim: To move towards the start line on the green light while staying alert and stop moving immediately when the caller shouts 'red light'.

Players move individually towards the caller when they have called out 'green'. Players must run on the spot when 'amber' is called. Once the caller shouts 'red' players must stop where they are and any players caught moving return to the start. 

This game uses balance and reactive movements to stop quickly and react to the caller's instructions whilst also staying still when necessary. Players are encouraged to run with their heads up and run at a speed that means they can stop easily.
