RED LIGHT GREEN LIGHTThis game can be played indoors or outdoors, and you can have as many players as you want in this game. To start the game, you need one player that will call out the lights at the finish line, and have everyone else along the starting line. When you say 'Green Light' everyone will move towards the finish line, and when you say 'Red Light' everyone must stop. If players are still moving when you call 'Red Light', they must go back to the starting line. Once everyone gets across the finish line, a new round can start.
There are a lot of ways you could shake up this activity to make it more exciting for older players. The game can be played on skates or rollerblades, could be played on a play structure or monkey bars, or while balancing something on your head. Be creative! |
RED ROVERThis game requires at least six people divided into two teams, and a large indoor or outdoor space.
The two teams will line up opposite of each other, no more than 30 feet apart. The first team agrees to call one player from the opposite team, and chants, "Red Rover, Red Rover, send (player's name) on over!" The person called will run to the other line and attempts to break the chain, if the person fails to break the chain, the player will join the team that called Red Rover. If the player successfully breaks the chain, he/she may capture either of the two players whose link was broken, and bring them back to his/hers original team. Teams will take turns to call out "Red Rover" until all the players end up on one side. |
RING TOSSRing toss is an outdoor game that has a number of variations. You can play it on sand or on grass. You can have two to four players. Each player takes turn to toss their rings one at a time. This game is played up to 21 points. Ringers (when a ring is thrown onto a peg or stake) count for three points. If a player gets two rings on the same peg, that is a double ringer and counts for six points. If players do not make any ringers, the ring closest to a peg gets one point, and if two players both make ringers on the same peg, the points are cancelled out. Whoever gets to 21 points wins.
