PE Playworks Kindergarten

Red Light, Green Light

Show How How to Play:

● Review boundaries where students will be able to move inside. ● Students will begin on one endline, while you will stand either at half-court or on the other end line, facing your students. ● The object of the game is to reach you at the other endline. ● When you say “Green light”, everyone will move towards you. ● When you say “Red light”, everyone must immediately freeze. ● If students are still moving when you call our “Red light”, they must go back to their own endline. ● Start a new round once everyone has made it to your end line or when most players get there. Practice moving, freezing and balancing. ● Do a practice round where you only do two rounds of “Green/Red light”. Make sure students understand they must balance when they are frozen.
