Description

Traffic Jam is a fast-paced game that simulates traffic flow and requires teamwork and quick reflexes.

How to Play:

Set up the course: Mark "roads" on the floor using lines or tape.
Assign roles: One player acts as the "traffic light," facing away from the other players.
Start the game: All other players line up on the opposite side of the room, waiting for the green light.
Navigate the course: When the traffic light signals "Green!", players run across the "roads," passing the ball to their teammates whenever their paths cross.
Avoid traffic violations: If a player moves after the traffic light yells "STOP!", they must return to the starting line.
Become the traffic light: The first player to reach the traffic light without being sent back becomes the new traffic light.

The goal of Traffic Jam is to successfully navigate the course, avoid traffic violations, and become the traffic light. This game is a fun and engaging way to practice teamwork, coordination, and quick thinking.
