Traffic Light Game

Let’s play a game!


Red, Yellow, and Green Lights
Red Light, Green Light is a great group game for getting children moving and encouraging them to listen to instructions. You can use key words such as 'stop, slow and go' to play this game.


You can use red, yellow and green color papers to help make the game more fun as well.
Follow our simple instruction on how to play the game.



Red means “stop” or stop moving.
Yellow means “slow down” or walk slowly.
Green means “go” or walk fast.

What does each color mean? How many colors are in traffic lights? What are traffic lights for?
Try calling out each color and see how quick you can change your actions!
Play with your parents or siblings at home!

We would love to see you playing the game! 😊
