1. Choose somebody to be “It”. The Cub who is It is the Traffic Light.
2. Everyone else should start in a line about 10 meters away from the Traffic Light.
3. The Traffic Light should face with his back to the group and shout “Green Light”. Everyone can start running toward the Traffic Light.
4. The Traffic Light shouts “Red Light” and faces the group. Anyone the Traffic Light catches still running is out.
5. The Traffic Light continues to alternate turning away from the group and shouting “Green Light” and turning toward the group and shouting “Red Light”, with anyone getting caught running on a red light being out.
6. The first person to tag the Traffic Light wins and gets to be Traffic Light for the next round.

Notes

• There are many local variations of this game. Make sure everyone agrees on the rules before you start.
• Don’t run to fast or you won’t be able to stop when the Traffic Light says “Red Light”.
• The Traffic Light must completely say “Red Light” before turning around. This gives everyone a second to stop.
• Use other words to fit your theme instead of red light/green light.

First, Cubs should form a circle holding hands.  Then choose one Cub to be ‘IT’.  ‘IT’ stands outside the circle and then skips around it (holding the letter) while the circle sings:

I wrote a letter to my love, and on the way I dropped it.  One of you has picked it up, and put it in your pocket.  I dropped it once, I dropped it twice, I dropped it three times over.

They should carry on singing this rhyme until ‘IT’ quietly drops the letter behind one of the Cubs in the circle.  That Cub then has to race around the circle back to their place (going in the opposite direction to ‘IT’).  The last one back to the open place in the circle is ‘IT’ the next time.
