Flashlight Tag

A fun game for older kids.

To play you'll need a very strong flashlight. Play this game in a dark house at night or in a safe place outdoors when it’s dark. A park is an ideal game location.

Find a place to be the base. Choose one player to be “it”.

The person who is “it” waits at the base and counts while the other players hide. Hiders move around during the game. “it” searches for the hidden players with the flashlight. Meanwhile, players try to run to the base without getting caught. Players are tagged if “it” spots them with the flashlight and calls out a player’s name.

Each tagged player is sent to the base to wait until the very last player is caught.

The first person tagged is “it” for the next game though play out the game until "it" has spotted everyone.

Set a time limit for the game, if no one is tagged during that time frame, switch the person who is “it”.
