The game that they are playing, "Red Light, Green Light" is a game you might have seen on TV shows like Takeshi's Castle. One person stands typically near a wall, or in the distance with their backs turned.
Green light is when their back is turned
Red Light is when they are looking towards you
The objective is to reach the person without them seeing you move, Mai is cheating because she's not looking away at all. So that Yuuko and Mio can't move without losing the game.
Basically, there's one or more persons trying to reach the person who is periodically saying Red light, and turning to look at the others to ensure they stopped. Then they turn back around, and say Green light, which lets them move and try to reach them. This goes on until one of them reaches the target person, or all the players make a move after red light is said. Here, Mai decided to say red light, and never end it.
Hmm, I can imagine an antagonist for this series giving up on following the rules of the game and walking past, and with a mischievious grin, he'd tell her, "Mai, mai, I don't follow rules. I go out of my way to break rules."
Later, it'll turn out, he's an escaped patient from the asylum...
@Dannnneh ...You've never played "Red Light, Green Light" as a kid?
(sigh) Okay, you select one person to stand on one side of the room. Everyone else goes to a starting point on the other side. When the lone person says "green light" (as in the traffic light, get it?), the others move forward. When the person says "red light", they have to stop or they lose. Whoever tags the lone person first wins.
In this video, Mai said "red light", so they can't move, or else they'll lose.
@mdalsted Ooh, yeah, I have played that game, but I live in Sweden so we call it something else. And I only played it like 5 times lol. Thanks for replying.
@carsonma20132 They're not mutually exclusiveXD Yukko's and Mio's expressions, shows, that they are being rather tortured, than having their endurance put to the test.
@gokuandmario4ever No, not often, all the time. I kinda understand You, this anime is not meant for everyone, I am not into Japanese culture completely all and out, and on one instance, I ended up having seizures from watching it (this only happened to me before, when I watched a pack of japanese commercials).
see, mai isn't playing this game, she is playing a completely different game. one where the objective is to make you extraordinarily angry if you are in it. the only way to win is to not play.
@NYtassu Lol no worries, neither was I to be honest... though sorry if you got that impression =( Love Nichijou though... but the OP is evil... if you can play piano, try learn it... I can't XD
Basically it's tag. The person who is it is on one end. The people who tag the it person is on the other end. The person who is it calls out "red light" and "green light". Looking away during green light and look at the other players during red light. Players can move during green light, but they can't move during red light. If they are caught moving, they must start over.
The game that they are playing, "Red Light, Green Light" is a game you might have seen on such programs as Takeshi's Castle. One person stands typically near a wall, or in the distance with their backs turned.

The objective is to reach the person without them seeing you move, Mai is cheating because she's not looking away at all. So that Yuuko and Mio can't move without losing the game.
@kanopopo Nope, they're really plotting to assassinate Mai, right there and then without her noticing, hence how tense the situation became. It's not like they were playing a popular children's game, of which comments of yore' were oblivious to, and me having chose to answer their plead of being misinformed about the obvious.
@whong09 The Internet, flick back a few pages, it was to answer those in the comments, that didn't play this game, or know it from their youth. Simply just trying to help out.
@findlay27 Not to be overly critical or anything, but what sort of person would need an explanation for red light green light...
It's like having to explain what rock, paper, scissors is. Unless of course we are talking about some really underdeveloped backwater country, in which case the better question is, would said folk be on youtube watching Nichijou clips?
@CultistOfDagon Just going to copy and paste what I said earlier xD
"The Internet, flick back a few pages, it was to answer those in the comments, that didn't play this game, or know it from their youth. Simply just trying to help out."
I do see where you're coming at, kinda crazy not to know the game, as I used to play it a lot during break as a kid.
Well...with the world being so tech-savvy these days, maybe since parents/teachers look to computers to help their young children learn faster, they miss out on simple, fun games like this?
Granted, I don't know many people who don't know about it, but that's the best excuse I can give without unnecessarily insulting anyone because they don't know of a children's game. :/
I think the thing with mai-chan is that she, like mio, has trouble understanding rules and tries to think of her own ways to following them instead of finding it out
This game exists in Japan too. It's called "daruma san ga koronda". I often played it with friends when I was an elementary school student. Good old days.
@BadXFox They're playing Red Light, Green Light. As long as the person in charge of the color of the light is facing the other players, they can't move. If they move, they are penalized. The game is supposed to be played where the light turns around and says that it's green, but Mai is just staring them down so they have to keep completely frozen.
@XMuraX Wow, it's sad that you actually had to explain that to someone. I feel sorry for whoever doesn't' know this game. They must have had no childhood.
@viktor1841 What does your nationality have anything to do with that? Go be ignorant somewhere else, faggot. Kind of funny how you call someone an idiot, yet you can't use proper grammar and you don't know how to spell.
