Let's play red light, green light.
We're going to pretend to be cars, trucks, or any other vehicle you like.
Move your feet to march in place.
When you see a red light, stop.
When you see a green light, march in place really fast.
When you see a yellow light, slow way, way down.
Let's try.
Green light, red light, green light, yellow light, red light.
