Game Description:
An all time favourite!
Objective:
Try to make it to the other side of the playing area without getting eaten by Mr. Wolf
Game Rules:
Children line up at one side of the playing area. You will start as Mr. Wolf, you will start at the other side facing the wall. The children call out "What time is it Mr Wolf?". You will respond with a number, that number tells the children how many steps they are allowed to take. For example, if you say 4, the children can take 4 steps. The game continues this way until you respond by saying "LUNCH TIME". As soon as you say lunch time, you will turn around and chase the children back to the start. If you tag a child you can have them become the next Mr. Wolf.
Saftey Considerations:
Remind children to keep their heads up while running.
Adaptations (optional):
For younger children, when they are tagged have them join you as Mr. Wolf. Continue playing until you have multiple Mr. Wolf's.
