All children begin at the baseline or fence and a clinician stands at the net. When the instructor calls "green light," children move as quickly as possible to the net. When the instructor calls "red light," the children must freeze. The game continues until a child reaches the net, or the game can lengthened by having children return to the starting point.

  • Have children perform a racquet skill while moving forward, such as balancing a ball on their racquets or doing ups or downs (they must catch the ball to freeze).
  • The instructor can stand with her back turned during the "green light" and fact the children during the "red light." Anyone caught still moving must return to the start.
