You will need:

• a large play space
• a home base

• show the children where 'home' is
• the leader should be the wolf the first few times until the children understand the game
• later, the children will enjoy taking turns being the wolf
• the children walk towards the wolf asking, "What time is it Mr. Wolf?"
• Mr. Wolf pauses, looks at his pocket watch and answers, "Three o'clock" and turns and continues walking
• the children keep walking and asking the time
• when Mr. Wolf is ready, he answers, "Lunchtime!" and gives chase
• the children must run for their 'home' and try not to get caught!
• once caught, they walk with the wolf and help chase others when wolf calls, "Lunchtime"

What to do:

• first tell the children this story:

  "There were 3 little pigs who always liked to tease poor old Mr. Wolf. They were always asking him the time. Old Mr. Wolf would always be very nice and tell them the time. One day, Mr. Wolf grew tired of the little pigs always bothering him, so he decided to play a trick on the 3 little pigs. When they asked him the time, he said, "Lunchtime" and chased the 3 little pigs all the way home!"
