Instructions

1. Gather everyone together and explain you’re going to be playing a game about railways. Choose one person to be the ‘train controller’. The ‘train controller’ should be on the finish line.
2. Everyone else needs to be on the starting line.
3. The aim of the game is to tag the ‘train controller’ without getting caught. People will need to cross the room, but if the ‘train controller’ sees them moving or in the railway danger zone, then they’ll need to go back to the start.
4. Ask everyone what the railway danger zone might be. It could be somewhere you must never go, such as on the railway tracks or a level crossing.
5. The ‘train controller’ should be holding a torch and face away from the group, so they can't see them.
6. With their back turned to the group, the ‘train controller’ shouts ‘Green Light’. Everyone should move towards the finish line.
7, The ‘train controller’ can do one of two things:
8. After a few seconds, they can flash the torchlight somewhere that everyone can see it. This signals to players they have 5 seconds until the ‘train controller’ turns around. Anyone in the railway danger zone must try and get out of it by moving backwards out of the zone and freezing before the ‘train controller’ turns around.
9. After a few seconds, they can just shout ‘Red Light’, then turn around quickly. Everyone must immediately freeze or stop moving. If any player is in the railway danger zone when the ‘train controller’ turns around, they must go back to the starting line.
10. When the caller turns around, if any players are seen to still be moving, the ‘train controller’ can identify them, such as by pointing at them. They must go back to the starting line to begin again.
11. If any player is in the railway danger zone when the ‘train controller’ turns around, they must go back to the starting line.
12. The first person to tag the ‘train controller’ at the finish line wins.
