Teaching game rules for stop and go games autism uses visual cues and simple prompts. Red light means stop. Green light means go. These games build listening, impulse control, and turn-taking skills.

Use red/green cards for clear signals. Say "Green light—go!" while modeling running. Say "Red light—stop!" and freeze. Practice 5-10 times daily.

Visual timers show turn length. Structured play increases attention spans by 40% in 6 weeks.​
