Red light, Green light
The joeys all stand in a line behind a rope or string you've put on the ground. About 10 metres away from them put another rope or string and that's where the police officer gets to stand. The police officer needs to be with their back to the line of joeys. The officer then shouts "green light!" and that's when the joeys need to start running towards the officer. Right after yelling "green light", the officer counts a few seconds and yells out "red light!" and quickly turns around (once the joeys hear "red light" they need to stop/freeze). If the police officer catches anyone moving, they must return to the starting line. This continues until one of the players succeeds in crossing the line while the police officer's back is turned. That player then becomes the new Police Officer.
