What’s the time, Mr Wolf?

One player is chosen to be Mr Wolf and stands facing away from the other players at the opposite end of the playing field. All players except Mr Wolf chant in unison “What’s the time, Mr Wolf?”, and Mr Wolf will answer in one of two ways: Mr Wolf may call a time – usually an hour ending in “o’clock”. The other players take that many steps towards Mr Wolf. They then ask the question again. Alternatively Mr Wolf may call “Dinner time!”, and turn and chase the other players back to their starting point. If Mr Wolf tags a player, that player becomes Mr Wolf for the next round.
