How can I keep my kids safe when walking outside?

Red Light, Green Light

To keep kids who like to run ahead in control, I use this simple game. If I say "Red Light", they must stop immediately. "Yellow Light" means slow down, and "Green Light" means they can keep going. If they don't follow the traffic rules, they get their driver's licences" taken away, and have to stay by my side for the rest of the trip.
