5. The players search for the ghost. If a ghost
can tag a player without getting spotted,
that player becomes the ghost for a new
game.
6. If any player sees the ghost, they yell,
“Ghost in the graveyard!” and all the
players try to get back to the home base
before the ghost tags them. If they do,
then the ghost has to be the ghost again
in the next game.

For extra fun, you can play Ghost in the
Graveyard at night using flashlights.
Can you find an exact match for each
of these flashlights?
HOW TO PLAY: Choose
one person to be It. He
or she stands a good
distance away from the
other players with their
back to the other players
who line up on a starting
line, facing It.
When It calls “Green Light,”
the other players move
towards It until It spins
around, yelling “Red Light.”
When they hear the “Red
Light” command, the
other players must freeze
on the spot.
503.325.0411
AND
TOWING
Any player seen moving
must return to the starting
line. The players must
remain frozen until the
next “Green Light”
command is given.
Play continues in
this manner until
someone reaches
and tags It. The
tagger becomes the
new It and the game
begins again.
Draw the road sign that continues the pattern in each row.
Newspaper
Ball
Roll up several pages
of the newspaper to
make a “bat.” Wad up
some other pages and
tape up to make a
“ball.” With a pal,
play catch with the
ball. Have one person
pitch the ball and the
other try to hit it with
the newspaper bat.
