DPA - Sample Games by Division & Location

Safety Considerations

• Make sure the gym floor is free of any obstructions, and that the floor isn't wet or slippery.
• Remind students to keep their heads up when running to avoid collisions.
• No pushing allowed.

Instructions

• Start all students on a safety line or one end of the gym.
• Choose a student to be the wolf and have them stand facing the rest of the students in the centre of the gym.
• The students chant, "What time is it Mr. Wolf?"
• The wolf replies, for example, "Two o'clock" and the players move forward two steps.
• This is repeated with the wolf answering different times until the wolf answers with the key phrase, "Dinner Time!"
• The players run back to the safety line trying not to be tagged by the wolf. If they are tagged, they become the wolf's helper in tagging students when "Dinner Time" is said.

Accommodations/Modifications

• The wolf can say things like, "It's time to hop/skip/side step three times."
• Instead of having students run back to the original line, have them run to a safety line at the opposite end of the gym.
