Firefly Tag

Firefly Tag

If you are planning to have a nightime party or slumber party, this is the game for you. After the sun goes down, your guests can flicker their flashlights in this nocturnal game. As they play, they'll learn how fireflies communicate -- the lightning bugs send signals of blinking light to attract mates. To begin, players should pair off and create a flashlight signal (one short and one long flash, three short flashes and so on.) Partners must then separate and go to opposite ends of a large, open playing area (a park is ideal). Players are given one minute to scatter before they may begin flashing signals. Each pair tries to reunite as quickly as possible by sending flashlight signals to partners. The first pair to reunite is the winner.
