Red Light Green Light

Principle:This toy is based on the childhood game of red light green light. It will teach children how to listen and follow directions as well as the thought process of association of things to actions (in this case colors). It may also begin to teach kids what traffic lights are so when they seem them, they will connect the colors presented with going, stopping, or slowing down.  

Interaction:  The toy would work by utilizing accelerometers and randomness to change the lights and know how each participant is moving and when. When the light is green, the players would run toward the light, when yellow, they must significantly slow down or risk penalization, and when red, they must come to a stop. During red lights, there will be a secondary smaller light, when lit it signals that players may sneak toward the light but if they are caught moving when the light goes off, they will be penalized. First player to reach the light and touch the finish button wins. 

Durability:  The toy would be fairly durable as it would be a large square with the cloth flags directly attached. The casing would be made of some hard durable plastic which would be able to take a beating. The simple design means there are no small fragile pieces that can break off.

Safety: Since the game is fairly large with no small, fragile, or breakable pieces, there is a very low safety risk associated with this toy.

Manufacturing: This toy can be made of a case made of a two piece injection molded plastic. all electronics would then be able to screw into place inside the case.

Cost: The cost of manufacturing would be fairly low, I would say maybe between $10-$20 and then this could probably sell for $30-$40

Age Recommendation: 3 and up. Children can play together and even adults can join in and play with the younger kids.
