The rules
How to play
1
One player is the Monster (it).
2
If the Monster is about to catch you, you can call 'Hong deng!' (Red Light) and make a T-shape with your hands, you are frozen and safe.
3
A teammate can free you by touching you and calling 'Lu deng!' (Green Light).
4
If you are tagged while moving, you become the new Monster.
5
The game encourages teamwork because frozen players depend on their friends to rescue them.
Keep it fair
You can only call Red Light once before moving again, no permanently freezing to avoid the game. Set a count of ten before a frozen player must unfreeze.
