Fun on the Job: Flashlight Tag

Submitted by Asimraza Lilani, Resident Assistant, Kutztown University

I’m an RA at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania. We were back to campus early for training before spring semester 2002, and it snowing hard outside. Everyone on staff was pretty much bored as we could not go anywhere because of the snow that was coming down that evening.

So we decided to play "FLASH LIGHT TAG".

Since students had not yet returned to campus, we switched off all the lights in the building and used the whole building to play that game. Most all staff played and had a lot of fun. We used the doorways and bathrooms as our hiding spots. It was quite exciting and scary as there was no light through out the building except for the flashlights. We used the building speaker system to communicate with other participants during the game.

That’s basically it. Simple and fun ways to do stuff.
