By:kr
Title: What time is it Mr. Wolf?
Type: Active Game
Target: Time
Materials: None
Procedure: One student is the Wolf. All the rest line up far away from the Wolf.
They ask in unison “What time is it Mr. Wolf?” and the wolf answers any time.
The students then take the same number of steps towards the Wolf as the time
that the Wolf said. For example, if the wolf answered “It’s 4 o’clock” students
should take 4 steps toward the wolf. Once the Wolf is ready s/he can call out “Its
lunchtime!” When this happens the wolf chases all the students back to the safe
zone and tries to catch them. If anyone is caught they become the new wolf.
