How to play
- An adult checks the LED battery covers and operation. Sit in a circle with one switched-off LED in front of each person. Choose which direction the signal will travel.
- The facilitator switches on the first LED. The next person sees its light and switches on their own. There is no need to pass the candles themselves.
- Continue lighting one LED at a time, passing the signal to the next person. Anyone who needs help operating a switch can raise a hand for an adult beside them to assist.
- After the signal has gone around and everyone's lights are on, quietly look at the whole circle. If anyone was missed, the facilitator sends the signal to that person again.
- Once everyone has looked, restore the room lighting. On the signal, switch off and collect the LEDs. Do not race; joining without saying anything counts equally.
Ways to adapt
Preschool children: an adult helps with the switch. Younger primary school children: make one round in one direction. Older primary school children and adults: agree on a signaling method.
