5 Unusual Party Games That Your Kids Will Love
What's the Time, Mr. Wolf?
This is a classic game of tag with a slight twist — terrific fun for the younger set.
What you’ll need:
To play this game, you will need a group of kids and a large playing area.
How to play:
One child is chosen to be Mr. or Mrs. Wolf, and that child walks about 12 feet away from the other kids and stands with their back to them. The other kids stand side by side in a line, and together they call out, “What’s the time, Mr. Wolf?” Mr. Wolf will respond by saying a number between one and 12. One o’clock means everyone takes one step forward toward the wolf, and 5 o’clock means everyone takes five steps forward toward the wolf. This is repeated a few times, resulting in the players getting closer and closer to the wolf. When Mr. Wolf is ready, he can answer “Dinner time!” instead of giving a number. Mr. Wolf then turns quickly around and chases the kids to catch his dinner. The player who is caught becomes the next Mr. or Mrs. Wolf and the game continues.
Bonus tip:
Use face paint to decorate Mr./Mrs. Wolf’s face or give them a Halloween mask to wear.
