"What's the Time, Mr. Wolf?" is a fun game that kids can play together. It's like a mix of tag and a guessing game. One person is chosen to be the "wolf," and the others are the "sheep."
When the game starts, all the sheep line up on one side of the playing area, and the wolf stands on the other side with their back to the sheep. The wolf's job is to catch the sheep before they reach the other side.
To start the game, the wolf needs to call out the time. They might say something like "It's three o'clock!"
Now, here's where the guessing part comes in. The sheep need to take steps toward the other side, but they have to pay attention to the time the wolf called out. They can only take as many steps as the number of hours the wolf said.
For example, if the wolf said "It's three o'clock," the sheep can take three steps before the wolf turns around. But they need to be careful because if the wolf sees anyone moving when they turn around, that sheep has to go back to the starting line and try again.
The game keeps going with the wolf turning around after each time they call out the clock time. The sheep take steps according to the number of hours called out, and they try not to get caught by the wolf. The goal is for all the sheep to reach the other side before the wolf catches them.
It's a fun and exciting game that helps kids learn to count, listen carefully, and think quickly. Have fun playing "What's the Time, Mr. Wolf?" with your friends!
