Lessons & Classroom Games for Teachers
This is a traditional kid’s game.
Practice with the kids the phrase "What time is it?"
Practice the responses "it's 1 o'clock" "2 o'clock" etc.
All the kids line up against one wall of the gym.
One kid is selected as Mr. Wolf who then walks to the middle of the gym.
The student’s objective is to reach the far wall.
Mr. Wolf's objective is to eat the other kids.
The kids shout out "What time is it Mr. Wolf?" in a big, huge voice.
Mr. Wolf then shouts the time.
The time can be anything from 1 to 12 o'clock, e.g. "It's seven o'clock"
The kids then take the corresponding number of steps forward.
For example 3 steps mean 3 o'clock.
When Mr. Wolf decides that the other kids have got near enough the far wall (really his house), then instead of saying "it's ..... o'clock" he says "It's Dinner Time!".
All the kids then run back towards the wall they came from.
But if Mr. Wolf touches them before they reach the wall then they become the new Mr. Wolf!
