Game Description:
A version of "What Time is it Mr. Wolf?" with a twist!
Objective:
To try and steal the Giant's gold without him noticing!
Game Rules:
Pick one child to be the giant. They will go stand at one end of the room while the rest of the group is at the other end. The gold (pool noodle or block) will be placed right around the giant. When the giant has their back turned towards the rest of the group, they can walk/run towards the gold, but as soon as the giant turns around everyone has to freeze. They must stay frozen until the giant turns his back to the group again. If the giant catches them moving while he/she is facing them, he/she can send that child back to the start to start again. The round is over once another child is able to grab the gold without the giant noticing. The child that gets the gold then becomes the new giant for the next round. Make sure the giant is giving the group enough time to move towards the goal (around 3 seconds) and don't let them get too picky when it comes to sending others back to the start.
Adaptations (optional):
Can get the kids to run, walk, gallop, skip, etc.
