What you need: You need at least four players and something to serve as home base (a tree, a porch or a patio).
How to play: Choose one player to be "Mr. Wolf." All other players stand at a designated home base. Mr. Wolf stands about 20 feet away from the other players with his back to them.
The rules: The players shout out, "What's the time, Mr. Wolf?" Mr. Wolf turns around to face them and says a time. The players take the same number of steps forward towards Mr. Wolf as the number of the time. For example, if Mr. Wolf says, "10:00," the players must take 10 steps towards him. Mr. Wolf then again turns his back to the group, and they ask again, "What's the time, Mr. Wolf?" Mr. Wolf says another time, and the players take that number of steps towards him. Once the players get close to Mr. Wolf, he will answer "Dinner time!" when they ask him the time. When he says this, all players will run back to home base as he tries to catch them. Any players he catches are out of the game. Play continues until only one player remains.
How to win: The last player remaining in the game is the winner.
What else you need to know: Another option you can do with this game is whoever gets caught by Mr. Wolf has to be Mr. Wolf in the next round.
