Mistake on the first row as I misread one word.

What was the children’s game beginning with the word ‘red’ yesterday ?

Could have been a couple. Either red rover, or maybe red light, green light.

Sometimes it's hard to think yourself into American culture!

Also, bad luck @ThePoshUns Flowers...

It seems I forgot to play yesterday as I now have a streak of one.

Got green (but don’t understand the stupid face) then had to look for hints.
