red light/green light (sometimes abbreviated as rlgl) is a variation of statue. the "it" person stands at one end of the playing field, with the rest of the players at the other end. "it" turns their back to the others and calls out "green light!" or "1, 2, 3! red light! green light!" or "red light! green light! 1, 2, 3!" the players then run as fast as they can towards "it". at any time, "it" can face the players, calling out "red light", and the others must freeze in place. if anyone fails to stop, they are out or must return to the starting line. the first player to reach the person who is "it" wins and becomes "it" for the next round.
