What’s the Time, Mr. Wolf?

A kid is chosen to be the wolf and stands with their back turned at one end of whatever space
you have available. The other players’ job is to creep up on the wolf and ask repeatedly, you
guessed it: “What’s the time, Mr. Wolf?” The wolf has creative license here and answers with
random times. When wolfie estimates that the other kids are close by, he switches things up
and shouts, “Dinner time!” Mr. Wolf turns around and tries to catch a kid. The captive then
takes over as the wolf.

British Bulldog

A couple of “bulldogs” are selected while everyone else’s job is to try and run from one end
of a field to the other without being caught by the dogs. If you’re captured (this is where
things can get out of hand, because bulldogs are often required to force their detainee to the
floor), you become a bulldog too. The winner is the last kid to avoid capture.

Red Letter

A leader is chosen and this child stands with their back to the other kids, who line up 20 feet
away. The leader’s job is to shout out random letters. Anyone with that letter in her name gets
to take one step forward—or more if the letter appears multiple times. The first person to
reach the leader wins and it’s his turn to call out letters.

Sardines

It's like hide-and-seek but only one person hides and all the others must find them, hiding
with them when they do. The hiding place obviously becomes hugely cramped (like sardines)
and the last person to find the group is a loser.
