Statues (also known as Red Light, Green Light in North America, and Grandma's/Grandmother's Footsteps or Fairy Footsteps in the United Kingdom) is a popular children's game, often played in different countries. There are variations of play throughout different regions of the world. General rules A person starts out as the "curator" (It, Granny, Pooh, etc.) and stands at the end of a field. Everyone else playing stands at the far end (distance depends upon playing area selected). The objective of the game is for a "statue" to tag the curator, thereby becoming the curator and resetting the game. The curator turns their back to the field, and the "statues" attempt to race across and tag the curator. Whenever the curator turns around, the statues must freeze in position and hold that for as long as the curator looks at them. The curator may even be allowed to walk around the statues, examining them. However, the curator needs to be careful – whenever the curator's back is turned, statues are allowed to move. If a statue is caught moving, they are sent back to the starting line to begin again or eliminated. Variations Red Light, Green Light Red Light, Green Light is a variation of Statues played throughout North America. The title of the game refers to the colors of a traffic light. Like Statues, Red Light, Green Light is played in a field or another long space. One player, the Caller, stands at one end of the field and calls out to the rest of the players who line up at the other end. The Caller turns around, looking away from the rest of the players and calls out "green light!" While the Caller is looking away, the other players are permitted to move, and they attempt to advance on the Caller. The objective is to get close enough to the Caller to tag them. At any point while the Caller is turned away, they can call “red light!” and turn back around to face the players. When this is called, the players must freeze in place. If the Caller observes any player moving, they send them back to the start. This repeats until another player tags the Caller. The caller may recite “red light!” and “green light!” as fast or slow as they would like in order to catch the other players while they are still moving. The first
