Line up all the children but one at one end of the field, each with a soccer ball.
The remaining child, Mr. Wolf, stands at the other end of the field with their back to the rest of the players.
The players call out, “What Time is it Mr. Wolf” and Mr. Wolf must respond with a time (ie. it’s one o’clock, it’s nine o’clock, etc.). The players count to the number called out while dribbling their ball towards Mr. Wolf.
The question is repeated over and over until Mr. Wolf responds to the players’ question with “It’s lunch time!” At that point, all the players must change direction and dribble their ball as quickly as possible to the start line before Mr. Wolf tags one of them. Whichever child is tagged then becomes Mr. Wolf.
