RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT
(Transport)

• Show the children how to move like a train or another means of transport, which we want to learn.
• In one hand hold a red ball and a green one in the other.
• Stand the children in a row at the opposite end of the room from yourself and stand with your back to the children.
• Say to the children that they should move like a train (arms simulating the pistons that drive the wheels) when you show them the green ball, say: “The green ball means go” and beckon the children to move towards you like a train.
• Now that they are moving towards you, turn your back to them still holding up the green ball.
• Without warning, quickly turn around and change to hold up the red ball while shouting: “Stop”. Any children who keep moving must go back to and start again.
• Repeat the process until one child is close enough to touch you, upon which he/she becomes the teacher and is given the red and green balls. Change the transport mime the children have to do and repeat.
• Once the game has run its course, give the children the city street map handout and remind them that “A green light means go but a red light means stop”.
• Set the children the task of finding their way to school safely, crossing the roads only where the lights are green.
