Traffic Light Freeze

Before the meeting: 

1. Become familiar with the proper bike hand signals for left turn, right turn, and stop.
   • Left turn is indicated by sticking your left arm out straight to the left.
   • Right turn is indicated by either sticking your left arm out to the left and bending your arm upright OR by sticking your right arm out straight to the right.
   • Stopping is indicated by sticking your left arm out to the left and bending your arm down.

During the meeting: 

1. Gather Cub Scouts and adult partners and demonstrate the proper hand signals for left turn, right turn, and stop.
2. Describe how to play “Traffic Light Freeze” (Red Light Green Light). Everyone spreads out in an open space facing the leader and pretends to ride a bicycle (walking or pedaling in place). The leader calls out directions (left turn, right turn, or stop), and the group must give the proper hand signal while moving their body in that direction. When the leader calls “Stop,” everyone must give the stop signal and freeze immediately. If a player gives the wrong signal, turns the wrong direction, or fails to freeze right away on “Stop,” they are out. The game continues until only one person is remaining. If time permits, the winner then becomes the leader for the next round.
3. Play “Traffic Light Freeze” with bike hand signals.
